I have had fun playing with simple finger looping in the past, but have not
dabbled in the more complex 'recipes' so I am in no position to say for
sure whether or not those braids are finger looping and the patterns do not
appear in either of the books I have. Jean has done far more finger looping

Jean or Bev Walker might be better than me at identification, but could these
braids be formed by tablet weaving? I believe the technique does date back that
far, and they certainly look similar to the braids I made as samples at college
some years ago? Being a warp/weft technique, it would also
That is a better idea to me than a looped technique. Well spotted Jane

Hello Gillian and everyone
I am reminded of "Slentre Braid" which is made of 5 doubled threads,
anchored at one end, looped at the other. Briefly, two fingers of one hand,
three of the other hook into the loops where a weaving motion takes place,
one loop through another. The result is a quickly-
Devon is doing research on lace-related textiles from 1970s to today.
 However, there has been  correspondence this week that makes me realize
some of our weaving scholars might like the following information which took a
long time to research in 2016 for Kim Davis at The Lace Museum in Sunnyval
H Bev,
Slentre braid sounds exactly like the 5 loop braid which was the first
finger-looped braid I learned.
Did you know that by picking up the loop that is transferred from one hand
to the other in different ways - eg by changing whether you catch the top
or the bottom thread of the loop - you c
Even though it's for beginners, I would jump at the chance to go there.
If only I had money for airfare and accommodations. Oh yeah, and a

It doesn't look like fingerloop to me either.
Tablet weaving absolutely goes back this far (and further.. go
anglo-saxons!), but this speaks more to rigid heddle than 4 hole tablet to
me. (2 shafts rather than 4, effectively).
Lovely piece!

Hi fellow Arachnids,
These braids on the indulgences (which were frequently sold by -sometimes
spurious- Pardoners to raise funds for the church), could be finger woven or
card woven. Finger-weaving is a form of plaiting with loops on the fingers
with which one can get different and pretty patte
I dont know that much about finger-loop braiding. There was a reference in (I
think) Piecework maybe around 2000. Kumihimo books also make reference. I have
a feeling it may be Chinese in origindone by the monks to make red tape to
