Expand your Inkle weaving toolbox!
Build on skills from our Begin to Weave on an Inkle Loom class and learn the Baltic-style pick up, which allows you to create a whole world of intricate inkle-weaving patterns. This technique is able to be learned in one afternoon, but students should have a basic understanding on inkle loom warping and weaving.
