Inkle weaving is a type of weaving where the shed is created by manually raising or lowering the warp yarns, some of which are held in place by fixed heddles on a loom known as an inkle. Though inkle weaving was brought to the US in the 1930s, the inkle itself seems to predate this by several centuries, being referred to in Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost.

Inkle weaving is commonly used for narrow work such as straps and belts.
