Our customers say:
"Beautiful patterns love it received immediately great seller AAAAA+++++"
This HISTORIC item contains photos, color illustrations, and line drawings of wondrous card weaving patterns with clear instructions, designs and fundamentals for creating delicately beautiful, dainty ribbons to substantial and ornate accessories for household soft furnishings and more!
This book covers Tablet or Card Weaving methods and patterns. I believe the loom used is called an Inkle or Table Loom in some cultures.
An excerpt:
"...we learn that the art of tablet weaving is pre-historic, was very generally used in the ancient world, both Eastern and Western, was practiced in Europe in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and, that many kinds of beautiful braids and other narrow webs, for various uses, are still woven by this simple method in remote places where the primitive traditional arts and crafts still survive... "
Uses of Tablet or Card Weaving Projects
One could custom make your own, one-of-a-kind belts, straps, spaghetti straps for adult to baby dresses, chemises, undergarments, bathing suits, pj's, headbands, hatbands, bracelets, clothing, towel and linen trimmings, trimmings and handles for purses and diaper bags, fiber art jewelry and much more! With the use of courser cording one could make lovely accessories for the horseman or woman's mounts. These may include reins, halter straps, belly bands, girth straps, etc. Also, using lighter cording, dog and cat collars and leashes. Just a few of my ideas here and I am sure there are many more potential uses dancing through your heads...
Now I am certain the creative fiber and thread artists out there can visualize and conceive many, many creative uses for this art in our modern-day world way beyond the cultural confines of those when this item was created. I could see this art being useful with curtain, clothing and linen embellishments, bracelets, headbands, bed and bath linen trims, table covers and runners, wall hangings, baby items and gifts galore for the quickly upcoming holiday season!
This information comes of ancient origins! I am tempted to make some items (bracelets and headband) for my grand-daughters using fine to coarse crochet weight types of threads of linen, mercerized cotton or silk. I imagine when I begin to play with this I will use some of my size G and up vintage and antique silk threads. I might even get to the point where I will experiment with antique glass seed beads in the project just because I can… There is a great deal more latitude with this fiber art then one would imagine!
