| Braid Weaving There were many ways of weaving narrow fabrics for girdles, leg bindings, borders, and decorative braids. We can say little about the looms, for if their warp was stretched between the weaver's belt and a tree or table leg there would be no archaeological trace. |

| Card Weaving Study based on the book, Card Weaving by Candace Crockett
This study group originated from Compuserve's Fiberarts Forum. All you need is Candace Crockett's book Card Weaving, some 3/2 or 5/2 cotton, and at least 25 cards (tablets). By following the book and suggestions here, you will, depending on your level, learn to card weave and/or comprehend the technique so that you are comfortable with it and can create your own designs. |

| A Saxon Threaded-In Tablet Weave Much tablet weaving in the Known World involves "threaded-in" patterns. That is, the pattern, generally a repeating geometric, is selected in advance; then the cards are threaded such that turning in a prescribed order (continuously forward, or four forward, four back, for example) results in the pattern automatically appearing. |

| Tablet Weaving Tablet weaving is a technique for combining warp and weft threads to form a fabric and uses tablets or cards punched with holes to form the shed. If you find this confusing, ignore it and keep going. All will be made clear in time. |

| Three Recipes for 14th- and 15th-Century Tablet Weaving This article gives recipes for three tablet weaving techniques that have been dated to fourteenth- and fifteenth-century England. They are based on analyses made by Elisabeth Crowfoot of Braids 449, 450, and 423 catalogued in the Museum of London (see below for citation). Depending on the size of thread or yarn you use, these recipes can produce impressive hair fillets, belts, baldrics, spur straps, ribbons, and the like. |

| Toli's inexpensive inkle/cardweaving loom design The loom looks a lot like your regular inkle loom except it has two sides. The sides are made by cutting a cheap particle board shelf into two symmetrical parts. A hardwood board can also be used, but that kind of negates the part about being inexpensive. |

| Viking-Style Tablet Weaving: Birka Strapwork Motif The motif for this tablet-weaving "recipe" is based on a Viking Age brocaded tablet-weaving pattern found on Bands 22 and 23 at Birka, Sweden. Based on both the number of finds of brocaded tablet-weaving finds and the total weight of metal brocading weft found at Birka, this was the trim pattern most commonly represented in Birka's Viking Age burials; its popularity spanned the ninth and tenth centuries. |
