I used some black fabric with tiny white and orange dots on it and some light orange yarn.
I got the fabric at our local thrift store for $2. I had 3 yards of 60" wide silky double knit fabric and decided it would make a nice rug. I cut it into 2" strips.
The rug is 22" wide and 50" long. This yarn and silky fabric made a really soft rug.
I need to weave again soon. This took me about 5 hours to complete. In the photos the yarn looks yellow but it is really a light orange.
It looks great. Do you ever have trouble with skipping a warp thread? I have had a problem with that with some yarn. I learned a way to fix it after you finish weaving!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo far I have not skipped a warp thread.
ReplyDeleteyou may have to post how to fix it on your blog just in case I do skip one.
I am going to warp the loom again today. I want to make another rug.
Have you tried recycling fabric or t-shirts? For this one I used fabric but in the past I have bought a few XXXlarge t-shirts at our thrift store for 25 cents each and I spiral cut them from the bottom up to the arm holes. I try to stay at about 2 inches wide.They make great rugs.
Great rug Beebee! Love it!
