Inkle weaving!

I purchased a secondhand inkle loom last week, but I had to wait until I obtained some inkle shuttles before I could start weaving.  I bought two walnut shuttles from Threadsthrutime on Etsy, and I was ready to go!

I think that it took me two hours from start to finish to weave a 5' long band.  I have big plans to weave dog leashes out of Icelandic and Navajo churro sheep's wool with colorwork from the natural colors of the fleeces.  This band is rather too soft to be a durable leash, but it will be my prototype for sewing the ends, thinking about the length of the leash, etc.
