Working on the 1970 Barbara-IV Loom.
about 18 inches and the first three of four colors on Mary's "Hudson Bay Company" table runner . The first blue stripe is also 3 inches as will be the red one. The blue stripe has already been rolled forward ...
Red Dots and Hearts
Gray Dots ... we have Gray wooled sheep as well as black, brown and white ones too ! The other colors come from dying local plants and berries.
Edges often vary a little bit. These are completely handwoven. Others claim that but are using computer as well as machine driven Looms. The rugs shown here took about 45 hours to complete. Whereas the machine driven looms produce a few rugs a day ! If it's mass produced rugs you want at a cheap price, then please go to Target or Pier-1 Imports. Otherwise, search for members of the Handweavers Guild. Those like myself are members and maintain the hand weaving craft.
Brown Dots again ...
Over view of Red Dots & Hearts ...
I had to stand on a ladder and still hold the camera askew to take this one. The rug is about 80 inches fringe-to-fringe and about 49 inches wide. The colors are white background with natural black, natural gray and natural browns. It weighs 11 pounds dry.
This one has already been sold.
