I got a copy of Tablets at Work by Claudia Wollny last weekend and really fell in love with the Diagonals section of the book. (It's also called Egyptian Diagonals in some circles, but I guess the Egyptian part is questionable so she dropped the term for her book.) They create a really cool, 3D like effect so I wanted to warp up an example for the tablet weaving workshop I'll be teaching in a few weeks. This is 20/2 mercerized cotton, and also my first time winding a circular warp on an inkle loom for tablet weaving.

I had two false starts but finally got it on the third try! I had forgotten that each square in the pattern corresponds to two picks, and I was doing just one before turning the tablets.

The new bag strap is done! It turned out just a tad shorter shorter than I had planned, but it turned out to be a good thing! It may actually be a bit long still. It's the perfect length for over one shoulder when adjusted as short as it will go, and when I adjust it to the length I need for crossbody, I still have quite a bit of room to adjust it to be longer still. Overall, I'm really happy with how it turned out!

behold my new baby loom! I've had her for a few days but only had the spoons to start weaving today.

New hobby alert!!!! It's called tablet weaving or card weaving, it dates back to the 8th century BCE and I am obsessed. I also had to spend $0 and leave my house 0 times to get started with it.

Already figured out how to make a custom pattern. Too bad I live in a tiny house or I could make really long straps. Right now my longest (white/purple/green) is about a yard. I'm hoping my insane clamp warping setup gets me something longer. Stay tuned.

Tablet weaving

Tablet weaving or Card weaving is a weaving technique used for belts or trims. Instead of weaving on a loom, a certain amount of yarn lengths are placed through cards, with the yarn being tightened between a post and the weaver's own body. The pattern being created by turning the cards in a certain direction.

Tablet weaving has been around since the Iron Age, with the oldest examples being found in Hallstatt, Austria dated around 1200 B.C. (3200 years old), and was commonly used in European dress until the Viking age (1000 A.D.). The use later declined with mass produced textiles on big looms being more and more common. Scientists have no idea how patterns were invented or taught to new weavers. No examples of written patterns exist from this 3500 year time span.

Tried my hand at Inkle and Card weaving.

The second photo is of my inkle weaving, tension is all over the place. My mother did the card weaving and is much more consistent... and strong enough to make a belt!

Finished my first tablet woven band. It’s longer than I expected for an inklette loom (the small version of an Inkle loom). Now i need to find a use for it tho 😅

Already thinking about a more historical project. Hallstatt maybe?

Learning a valuable lesson on thread weights in tablet weaving 😅 the pattern is getting lost but the colors are still so pretty together I'm going to finish it anyways

Finished Object... Thursday?

My fiancée asked for the tablet woven bracelet I said I'd make, meaning I had to finish the project currently on the loom first. This cord is just a tad too wide for this particular bag, so I may end up making a narrower one later, but for now it holds things shut and will work until I figure out something better. I'm still really proud of this band and I learned a lot while making it.

Because bracelets are so small, the warping and weaving were actually pretty quick for that, so it only took about a day to weave once the loom was free. I'm still working on tension and consistency with projects over about 14 cards (this one was 24) but I still like how this turned out. It's a bit shorter than what I'd intended, so I have plans for changes for the next one, but it does make me want to keep trying bigger weaving projects!

Not a recent finish, but I did finish the second test knit of the dice bag pattern, and will start editing the pattern soon!

It is entirely due to Tumblr that when I saw these and the Louvre’s title for them, “Weaving Cardboard”, I not only knew their function but knew I should yell TEXTILE ARTISTS, CHECK IT OUT! Ancient tablet weaving tools I have brought from the Louvre here for you! 

[ID: A pile of small square pieces of carved boxwood; each is very thin, and has four holes drilled into it, for use in “card weaving”.]
