Woven cloth is ubiquitous in today’s world. We often take it for granted, unfortunately. Like learning the basics of playing the piano – especially for younger students – there is value in knowing the basics of how cloth is woven. And weaving on the inkle loom, despite its austere design, has all the parts – in easily understandable, this-is-how-it-works clarity. After teaching this unit at the homeschool co-operative, I have noticed students closely and excitedly examining the knees of their blue jeans in the lunch room to see the weave structure used in the cloth. If you have never woven before, you will see cloth differently after this class!
