I am not familiar with an “inkle” loom. :o|

Still overcast, no relief from the humidity, no breeze to cool the skin...no rain, here. Maybe somewhere else.

I had to leave after Pest Control was done. I couldn’t stand the smell. But I had no money to go to Walmart, so I just drove around with the windows down, trying to cool off and get the stink out of my nostrils. I had to get up to at least 35 mph to get the breeze, so that meant heading south, north or east. Did NOT want to get on the freeway.

I makes a woven strip up to about 3" wide. It's also called a "band loom." Until the mechanization of textiles in the mid-18th century, inkles or bands were the waistbands, bungee cords, gown laces, and all-purpose ties for everything.
