This loom requires little additional equipment, is simple to use and understand, and is easily stored.  This Inkle Loom is build with years of heavy use in mind.  It has one open side for easy warping.  The tension bar has an easy grip handle for adjusting the warp tension during weaving.  For the holidays, we've packaged together the loom, shuttle, and Helen Bress's book for a great gift at incredible savings!  These items purchased separately would total more than $97.00!
