Double Hole Sami HeddleBAND WEAVING

Saami Band Weaving Drafts

Sami Band Weaving
These Sami style weaving drafts can be woven using a single or double hole rigid heddle loom. The band weaving patterns are woven using a pickup technique over a tabby ground warp.

Traditional Band Patterns

Each family has their own band pattern and colours. The woven bands are functional and have many uses such as ties, reindeer harnesses, straps for bags, handwoven belts and trim on their clothing. This helps to identify their goods and clothing or who owns which reindeer. As the Saami are a nomadic people, the colourful bands also help to identify who is who in the distance or in the snow.

The Sami people have traditionally woven narrow bands using a simple reed made of wood or bone. The band is woven using a tabby ground weave. Intricate and colourful patterns are woven using a pickup technique.
