Beautiful, Ellen, and I love the pictures of how you finished it. It so suits your home by the looks of it. I wouldn't know whether to put it on the wall or the floor as it is so lovely to look at.

Oh thank you, how nice of you.

I honestly don't know, but if you look at my project page you can see that I like to try it all, from the finest silk to this heavy wool rug, - and everything in between :-)

Ellen, this is a beautiful rug!  And I love the 'resting on the laurels' photo of it in use.

I thought I had posted in here, must have been your thread on the finishing process. But anyway, that is a nice rug. Nice work.

I am thinking of just a simple wool rug and will be reading up on rug making, especailly about the final edgings.

Great stuff, this weaving thing. :)

Notes

This was a very interesting experience to weave and I am very happy with the result. It took a long time to do and the edges called "oriental braid" on Väv's homepage took a long time too but were worth the time spent :-)
