Things are looking up! It seems I have my tension issues under control and after I finish this test rag rug I'll get back to my scrap-estry weaving.

Finished this project with my DIY upgrade to 4 switches/inch. Our County Fair theme for 2025 was BEE-Lieve in the Magic of the Fair. I shortened it for the project. My Seattle Skyline and this are both displayed.

Not much time this spring for spinning & weaving. I did get this woven rug with Pendleton selvage hemmed. Fits my yoga mat perfectly!

Before warp weave repair of rag woven rug on the left, after repair mending on the right.
Separated, the structure is weak. #Together, it is strong!
All it takes is time and effort.

Partial first inch of a new handwoven Krokbragd rug in progress on a Schacht floor loom. In the foreground is a blue metal temple stretching the linen warp, with weft yarn made of blue, green, white, and yellow wool. Background features bins of weaving supplies on a metal shelving rack and a child’s drawing in a black frame.
Finally finally getting started…. #weaving #rugweaving #handwoven
Handwoven Swedish Krokbragd rug with bands of patterns made of red, blue, white, green, and yellow wool yarn.
My very first rug is finished! It took me a whole episode of Doctor Odyssey to weave all the ends in. Looking forward to warping my loom to weave a longer one next that I hope to gift to some friends for their wedding this year. #weaving #handwovenrug #krokbragd #rugweaving
End finishing on this project removed from the loom 4 days ago. This is was the tail end of the 2nd shaft switching warp on my HD Rug loom adapted with the shaft switching setup designed by Gisela von Weisz of Sweden.

Image shows a four shaft floor loom with approximately 6” completed of a handwoven Krokbragd rug utilizing red, yellow, tan, blue, and green wool yarns. Loom is sitting on a wood floor in a sunny studio in front of a window with a white sill, upon which sits a small pothos vine in a glass bottle and a picture frame displaying a toddler’s drawing of three people.
Really enjoying how the light is changing in my studio these days as we creep toward spring and I creep forward weaving the world’s slowest rug. #weaving #rugweaving

Curiosity was so helpful with weaving today he rode the right treadle on my Union rug loom up and down with his big, heavy head. He was so close he had a fair bit of weft dropped on him too. He's the best studio companion.
