Mary Atwater describes the construction and use of the inkle loom, a peg loom for weaving narrow warp-faced bands such as belts and girdles. She explains how to warp the loom, make the sheds with heddle and free threads, and weave plain-weave color-striped bands. She also covers pick-up patterns in Scandinavian, South American, Navajo and Mexican styles. Nine sample girdles are described with their materials and colors, and warp threading drafts (a)-(e) are given. Photographs of the finished bands are included, and the article ends with finishing methods and other uses for the bands.
