Description<\/strong>: I originally set out to weave a rug based on an article by Michael F. Rhode in Handwoven magazine from May\/June 2000. As my own project developed, it kept evolving. This rug ended up being the third in a series. Evolution not just in the development of the design, but I thought it fitting to describe the advance of colors and their interaction as I wove. For the color scheme, I overdyed batches of yarn to create two separate color ways \u2013 the brown\/orange colorway came from a batch of bright orange, and the Gold\/Green color way from a pale mint green. I believe it was the yarn telling me what it wanted to be. Using the same weave structure and sett from the original article, I wove the pattern on a Norwood Cranbrook Loom using 4 shafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
