Description: <\/strong>I often hope that my frugal tendencies can push my weaving designs in interesting ways. This rug is made of entirely recycled materials. The weft is 1-1\u00bd inch fabric strips from various scraps that I had on hand. It was fun to be reminded of old sewing projects from years ago. The structure is a 6-end block weave on four shafts. Using 6 ends per repeat allows for vertical stripes to appear in each block. By arranging printed fabrics side by side, I hoped to achieve a mosaic effect. I sketched the blocks’ dimensions in an excel spreadsheet to create a vaguely plaid look \u2013 some of the horizontal stripes are matched by vertical stripes of the same width. The warp was also drawn from my stash of miscellaneous cones of unmatched linen. I interspersed these so that the different weights were distributed evenly across the width of the warp. I would like to thank the Seattle Weavers Guild rug study group for being a wonderful source of knowledge, inspiration, and encouragement to try something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
