For years I have been preaching about the importance of having an imbalance between the warp and weft materials to achieve a serviceable rug. Think warpface or weftface. But if there is a difference in the size and thickness in the material than a perfectly good rug can be woven such as a rag rug for instance. By using different weights of the same material it’s possible to weave a rug that looks just like a check kitchen towel or table cloth. Now how cool would that be to have a rug at the sink that matches the towels in your kitchen? Come and learn how to weave a check pattern rug. You will want to go home and weave Tartan patterned rugs to match your kilt. The rug you will be weaving will measure approximately 25” by 60” and will be of 100% rug wool. We will finish the rug with a Damascus edge and twisted fringe. Each student will warp their own loom here at the studio following the draft and handout in colors of their own liking. Class limited to 6
