The Inabel is a handweaving technique of the Ilocos that is produced using traditional wooden looms. Ilocos is a province on the western coast of the Philippines.

The traditional process of Ilocos weaving begins with picking cotton balls, getting rid of the seeds using a cotton gin, pounding or beating with lagundi sticks, twisting the cotton by a spindle, and winding the cotton yarn into the skeiner. In a skein, the yarn is rolled into a loose, oblong-shaped twist
