Schacht now has weaving cards. Heres the blurb from the newsletter: Schacht Card Weaving Cards Step into an ancient craft with a modern twist with Schacht’s new Card Weaving Cards! Card weaving (also called tablet weaving) is a way to create patterned bands that are thick, sturdy, and beau- tiful. Though cards are often regarded as a simple tool, the weavings they can produce are infinite in design and complexity. The portability of these cards gives you the possibility of carrying a four harness loom in your pocket. You can use the cards on their own with a simple tensioning device, such as tying the yarn to a door knob and tensioning around your waist. Or use the cards on a loom. An inkle loom is an ideal companion, but you can also use them on a rigid heddle, table, or floor loom. We’ve developed a card that, at 3 1⁄2 square, is comfortable in the hand without being bulky. Colored bands and stripes are printed along each edge as an aid in keeping track of the card’s position. Made of sturdy yet flexible 24 point card stock, these cards will serve you well over many, many warps. The cards come in packages of 25, more than enough for a range of projects. All you need to add is yarn and a belt shuttle. You can start weaving complex bands at less than the cost of two coffees! Package of 25: $6.50 schachtspindle/our_products/weaving_cards.php
