OK, I bought some 12/6 seine twin and it arrived on saturday. I want to do a rug 28x48. The twine gets 13 epi.
according to the book " Rag rug handbook" this is how I should caculate it
13 epi x 28"= 364 ends
48" rug length + 20% take up ( 9.6 ") +12" fringe+36 " loom waste=105.6 warp length
105.6 divided by 36=2.93333 yards or 3 yards
so it should be 3 yards x 364 yarp ends?
the book says to use a filler until the warp threads are spaced evenly and then add a 1/2 inch to 1" header using the same warp thread doubled.
If I want to put on enought warp to make 2 rugs do I just double the yards, instead of a 3 yard warp,make it a 6 yard warp?
I just want to check everything before i start.
this will be my first weaving project on a floor loom
thanks for your help
