Though Alison was originally motivated by backstrap workshops taken with Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez and Laverne Waddington, these clever pebble-weave bookmarks were woven on an inkle loom. It’s the perfect project for giving pebble weave a try while sticking with a familiar loom.

Backstrap workshops with Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez and Laverne Waddington inspired Alison to play with pebble weave on her inkle loom. As a graphic artist, she looks for opportunities to incorporate lettering into woven projects, so she challenged herself to weave an entire sentence from the book Grandpa Bear’s Fantastic Scarf. Here’s a much shorter project designed to introduce you to pebble weave by weaving bookmarks that spell out three of Alison’s favorite words: Sample, Sample, and Sample.
