Tablet weaving sets
Would you like to learn tablet weaving, but threading the tablets seems intimidating?
Would you like to teach tablet weaving to others, may be a whole group, and would like to save some time needed for preparations?
Perhaps you are looking for a special gift for someone into textile crafts?
Then Tablet Magic sets are the right choice!
Every set includes:
- a set of tablets made of strong coated paper;
- cotton warp (2 metres long, with tablets already threaded);
- cotton weft set up for weaving (2 metres) + additional length (10 metres);
- instruction manual;
- 3 trigger clasps for finishing.
To start weaving, you just need to take the warp with the tablets out of the box and find something sturdy to tie it to. Each set includes enough warp to produce one belt (about 1,5 metres long) or three wrist bands.
The patterns of the basic sets below are based on the Estonian national belts.
The price of one set is 18 € + shipping fee.
Set 1 – Saarde
11 tablets, the photos of the original belt can be found in Estonian Museums’ photo bank MUIS.
Set 2 – Karksi
12 tablets, the photos of the original belt can be found in Estonian Museums’ photo bank MUIS.
Set 3 – “hoofs”
12 tablets, the photos of the original belt can be found in Estonian Museums’ photo bank MUIS.
You can also order a set with the pattern of you choice! Choose the pattern from Yrmegard’s Workshop pattern collection or any other source (in the last case, please make sure that the author of the pattern has not limited the rights to use the pattern to non-commercial only). The price for the set made on your order depends on the pattern, the length and the width of the band, as well as on the chosen type of thread.
Tablets
Tablets are made from strong coated paper, with Yrmegard’s Workshop logo printed on one side. Tablets have 8 holes, 4 in the corners and 4 in the middle of the sides. Tablet sets come with a cotton bag to keep the tablets in.
