Just curious...I was looking at the Great Northern Weaving website and see that they charge $2.40 / lb. for loopers. How many lbs. do you all recon would it take to make a 2'x3' rug?

Hi DJ, Based on fabric

Hi DJ,

Based on fabric weights for that size rug, I would expect about 3 lbs should work.  You should take a look at Cotton Clouds, she is the first to offer loopers and might have more information about amounts needed.  You can either click on her ad on the left or go here.

Please keep us posted, I am curious to know hear what you decide.

You can call and ask them.

You can call and ask them. They are weavers, and know what it takes!

I've always found them very helpful.

I contacted cotton clouds and

I contacted cotton clouds and will share for future ref. The loopers come in 1 lb. bags:

It' a 16 ounce bag that will make about 10 potholders; you'd need about 3 bags for a 3 x 5 rug.  Hope that helps. Irene

So 3 lbs was right...Thanks all
