Dusting off the Inkle Loom

My inkle loom has been gathering dust. Literally!  The band shown above had been on the loom for a long time. I warped the band on two different days and accidentally used two different weights of cottolin thread. I left the warp, but wasn't really happy doing the weaving. 

A couple of weeks ago, I decided just to cut it off and start something new. Because the band was dusty, I washed it. And of course, now I love it!  The band isn't very long but it looks great as a belt on this "Winter Outfit" made by the ladies at Bamboletta for this Bamboletta Sitting Friend doll!

I have a new warp on the inkle loom now, doing a simple pink and white cotton band, just to get my hand back into the feel of weaving again. 

Wait...could that be an Inkle on the back of the loom? (No one is quite sure what an Inkle is, so why not??  He's actually trial of a new little soft doll I'm designing).

I think this pink and white band will make a lovely trim for a doll dress! Using my bands on doll dress could become a thing!!
