It is extremely difficult to find any information on inkle weaving, but here is a whole book, complete with black and white photos, diagrams, and weaving patterns. The history of the loom and this type of belt weaving is accompanied by many photographs of examples of work, from simple belts to works of art (some of these are color photos). I have a loom myself and have woven on it for many years, but this book went way beyond any ideas I came up with on my own. A must for serious weavers, artists or art teachers of textile arts.
Good book on a type of weaving, the age doesn't matter for practical purposes but the illustrations take me back to my Hippie past.
Good all round book on inkle weaving. Includes warping instructions and many pattern possibilites.
