This bookmark, handwoven in a weaver's home, represents a handcraft 13,000 years old. Inspired by spider webs, beaver dams and bird nests, early people wove fibers into mats and ba skets and, later, clothing, tents and ship sails on frames called looms. This small weaving was made on an Inkle Loom which was used in the British Isles to weave needed harness, suspenders, belts, straps and ties for clothing. Inkle is the Scottish word for braid. Inkle belts were often called Inkles. Now you know an inkling and inkle! Sold separately. Design and colors are assorted. If you'd like a specific design, please indicate in your order notes, however we can not guarantee availability of all designs. Show more
