HANDMADE

ALL of my rugs are handmade by myself. All cloth is hand cut with either a scissors or rotary rag cutter.
Then sewn on a sewing machine into a ribbon of cloth.
After that, I weave on a four harness Newcomb Loom.

You can see pictures of this loom in earlier posts.

I have three looms that I use, all three with different colores of warp on them, one with blue and smoke blue, second with natural warp, which is a little off the pure white, and third, beige and brown warp. That is what I have on the looms now. I mostly have blue and natural on the one loom, I like that combination and have it on the loom more frequently than the two blues.

Each rug is unique , I want to say that each is different in its own way. Although I try to make at least two from the same bunch of fabric. This only happens if I have enough material to make two, since sometimes there is only enough to make one rug.

Keep on weavin'
