Shaggy Rug 3820
The round shaggy rug was woven at the end of a warp. The base weft of the rug is wool yarn unraveled from an old rug. The edges outside the rug are made from leftover cords from macrame projects and T-shirt yarn. The pile is a mix of all kinds of leftover yarns.
The rug was woven to the end of the warp. The warp was threaded into the loom by tying it to the previous warp. The knot area remained in this rug but is hidden under the pile.
Notice how conveniently you can recycle old office organizers! You can prepare the pile threads in the organizer and lift one level at a time for weaving.
Weaving
The tuft is tied around two warp threads, leaving two warp threads in between. Weave thick removable weft at the edges outside the rug so that the fabric remains at the same height in both the rug and the edges.
You can make the rug round using a pattern. Draw a round pattern with the same diameter as the warp width. Measure the rug’s edges while weaving using the template to ensure the edges are even.
Finishing the Shaggy Rug
Remove the extra weft at the edge. Tie the warp threads to the rug’s edge with secure, tight Weaver’s knots as you remove the weft.
The weaving instructions for the Shaggy rug can be found in Digi The Weaver’s Pick 1/2024 and the Weaving Library.
