Very nice

I like the colors too! Lucky you to have this resource available to weave on while your loom is being restored.

Thank you for your kind

Thank you for your kind comments. I was pleased how the color variation turned out. I am officially hooked on weaving rugs. Looking forward to weaving many more down the road and even selling.

Warp Colors

I love the variation in the warp colors....did you do a pattern or is it a random color scheme?  Did you try to match the warp colors to the weft?  I have only purchased/used natural warps thusfar but am super jealous of the beautiful pattern your colors made and might need to look into using some color.

Thanks for sharing your rug its lovely!
