Twenty seven finished rugs, all with tans, browns, greens in them.
They came off this warp...
This warp came about because 1. I had very few greens, browns and tans in finished rugs in inventory, and 2. I had alot of tans, browns and greens in the weft stash material. and 3. I have been fixated on warp based stripes lately.
The last batch off the loom, I tried to use up some old materials that I inherited and that have been hanging around in my stash for awhile.
This one turned out really fun -
And then this rug happened with what was left of the twill materials. I was hoping it wouldn't look too random and unplanned :)
There was still warp on the loom, but I can never tell what's left with any certainty. So it's hard to do a planned pattern - so I did this and ended up with an "eclectic" rug. It is ok, but not one I would choose - we'll see how long it takes to sell! It is made of corduroy that was gifted already in strips.
Next warp is in my mind -- something that I can put any color of weft on, and yes, I'm still fixated on stripes. Not sure when I will get that warp on the loom with the holiday and kids coming to visit, but I can't wait to weave some of the strips I have prepared.
All for now,
JULIE
