I discovered card (tablet) weaving on the web, made some cards from cardboard milk cartons, and used the backstrap loom method to make a cotton yarn sash and llama fiber hatband. My son, Eric, was intrigued with my results, did some research on the web, and decided to use an inkle loom for his card weaving. Eric, Claud, and I built the loom in about 5 hours from 3/4" plywood.

Eric holds the inkle loom on his lap. The sash and hatband are draped across it.
