The first I ever made 😍. In 2017 or 18...

Was woven on a rigid heddle loom which I hadn't set up properly so the warp kept detensioning which was very frustrating! But I persevered and I still love this particular piece although it mainly gets used as a throw not a rug as the later ones are much more durable and suited to being walked on :)

Handspun wool weft with a cotton warp :)

@Zailrand LOVE these! I’m a weaver too and have rugs all over the place. But currently loomless because I took up the thru hiking lifestyle for a few years. This year too, so maybe I’ll get a loom next year. How big was your rigid heddle? I have one the width of a queen size bed, which I’ve never used.

@Kit Thank you :) was a 32" Ashford RH loom, now got an Ashford 32" 8 shaft table loom too but haven't got the hang of using all the shafts to pattern things yet :)

My mum had a huge rug loom when I was a kid as she had a textile business for a while. I'd love a huge loom but it was sold years ago. Queen sized bed width loom sounds amazing 🤩 Hope you get a chance to use it at some point

@Kit here are a couple of my all wool rugs - the one on the left still needs the backing attached
