Quoted from the /span>General View of the Agriculture of Renfrewshire
"1732 - Tape manufacture." Glasgow was the first place "in Britain where the Incle loom was established;" Mr Alexander Harvie having, in the year 1732, "at a very great risk of his life, brought over one" of the workmen and a model of a loom from Haerlem. This branch of manufacture was subsequently introduced into Manchester and other towns in England.

The Inkle loom is obviously older than generally given credit for. The type of fabric created on the Inkle loom dates back into the early Egyptian period. Inkle strips were used in almost every culture through history, as trim strips, belts, and straps. This type of loom and the fabric it creates had a huge revival in the 1960's for guitar straps and clothing trim.

The Inkle loom is a tool dating back to the mid 19th century, but the type of fabric created on the Inkle dates back into the early Egyptian period.

We make our Inkle looms out of various hardwoods from around the world. The majority of our wood is reclaimed, this prevents some of the most beautiful wood from ending up in the dumpster. Each piece is hand rubbed with an oil and paste wax finish, this helps to protect the wood and prolong the life of your loom.

We offer six sizes of hardwood portable Inkle looms. The Model 6, Model 9, Model 12, Model 12HD, Model 18, and Model 18HD. The Model number corresponds to the footage of weaving you are able to do per loom. If you want a smaller loom please see our Mini Inkle Looms.

Our Inkle looms are made for doing Inkle strips. Yes you can do card weaving on the Model 9 or larger. Except for the Model 12HD and 18HD these looms are not suited for the high tension warps that many weavers use for card weaving. If you are looking for a loom for card / tablet weaving you can do high tension on, please see our card tablet looms.
