Inkle weaving is a very old weaving technique for weaving warp-faced narrow bands of cloth using string heddles that are hand-manipulated to create a 'shed' and are woven using a small shuttle called a 'belt shuttle' that serves as both the yarn carrier and as the means of beating in each new row of woven thread. These can be decorative bands applied to other cloth, used as straps, lanyards (think scissor fob or phone strap) or handles on their own, or sewn together for wider cloth in various applications. Cotton is the most commonly used material, though bands can be woven of linen, wool, or silk as well.
