Inkle Bands
Inkle bands are available in a variety of lengths. The loom makes four yards at a time, so the longest piece normally available would be four yards. If you have a need for pieces woven to specific lengths, ask. We can probably make it work. Bands come in several formats:
- four yard hanks
- paired two yard (six foot) pieces for garters or the like
- paired four foot pieces for garters or the like
- 30 inch pieces suitable for head-bands or short ties
- 12 inch pieces suitable for trim or bookmarks or bracelets
- paired four yard pieces for leg wrapping
- "trim packs" consisting of a set of coordinated pieces:
- two 12 inch pieces
- one 30 inch piece
- one four yard in the same pattern but wider

Prices for a four yard length range from $15 up to $90 depending on width and fiber. Other lengths vary in a predictable manner.
Linen inkle bands. 10/20/30/40/50/60 heddles wide.
These bands hint at the range of patterns available. Here are some more bands, including cotton and silk for further comparison.
Silk (10 and 20 heddles), cotton (10 heddles), linen (10 and 20 heddles).
Note that most of the cotton bands will be woven in 10/2 cotton; the band shown above is 5/2. That means that a typical 10 heddle cotton band will be closer in size to the 10 heddle linen. Thread size can be discussed.
Silk (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 heddles).
Silk trim in stock as of 28 February 2010.
