Attaching Fishing Swivels for Tablet Weaving on an Inkle Loom

[@eileenfb1948]

I am new and waiting to get everything I need to start - I can't understand this video yet! Will go watch the one you recommend. I love the idea of adding the loop to one end.

I’d very much benefit from seeing how you manage this while weaving. I will try this. Thx

I'm going to be making a series of short videos documenting making a band from start to finish soon, so I'll make sure I include one showing fishing swivels in action.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing these videos.

I don’t understand how you attach the other end of the threads to the big loop you put through each little loop on the swivel. It seems I’m like this only secures one end of your threads. Am I missing something in the instructions?

Thank you for this, exactly what I had been looking for. What size fishing swivel do you use?

[@tabletweavingintheoryandpr5238]

I've done some checking and I haven't been able to find the details of my swivels. I suspect that I picked them because they had the clip at one end and were cheap.

Shat size are your fishing swivels?

[@tabletweavingintheoryandpr5238]

Unfortunately, I don't remember what size mine are as I bought them online in 2015 and eBay doesn't keep records back that far. Elewys recommends size 3 here: ladyelewys.carpevinumpdx.com/2021/01/25/getting-untwisted-with-fishing-swivels/
