The cost may seem high but a lot of work does go into tablet weaving. Not so much for thin strips of one color or two colors, but John purchased a 2 inch strip with a pattern. Lots of card turning and paying attention to detail there. I once purchased a 2 1/2 inch tablet woven belt about 2 meters long for $80. Beautiful belt, single red color but with a great twisted pattern.
Back in 1995 I thought the price was expensive since I was a poor college student, but then the person who made it told me the price ended up being less than $1/hr for her time.
:oops:
I felt like a schmuck for not being able to offer her more money!
Good stuff ain't cheap that's for sure!
