So about a year ago... I got a request for a denim rug with dimensions of 28 x 90. Yes, I can make them that size, but I don't usually. My normal width has become 24 inches wide.
So after explaining that I didn't know when I would get to it, the "order" was made with the understanding that time was not an issue :)
2022 did not bode well for timeliness in regards to production of rugs. I just plain didn't have time to weave as much as I wanted to.
But I finally got moved on to the 28 inch wide rugs. I put about half the length of warp as my usual run and got busy.
Here is the finished "special order" rug -
This rug left today, we'll hold our breath it arrives safely and is all that she hoped for!
Now I'm working on finishing up that warp so I can move on to greens and browns.
Some of the already finished rugs. As you can see, I had a product tester while I was trying for photos :)
Pretty sure the rest of the batch will be denim. Those are in progress.
So is ONE YEAR too long for a customer to wait for a special order? I feel it is, that's why I take on so few of them.
All for now,
JULIE
