Ecstatic To Find This Lot ! DIY Rugs here we come !

These are the much cooler shorn sheep wondering what else is going to happen !

We went over to a fellow weavers to find out how to warp up a loom (properly !) and spotted two beautiful fleeces in the garage - mmmnnn ...... after a tour of the weavings inside her house and looking at several Rya rugs she had made we could hardly wait to make our own and the fleece was practically calling out to us. We decided to use the fleece in the grease - that means without washing and it is beautiful to use. so far we have made a car seat head rest each and a cushion for a friend and one of the car seat head rests hasn't quite made it outside as it is on an office chair. In fact I am using it right now as I type this :)

Rag Weaving on a Rigid Heddle - where has his night shirt gone ?

Living miles away from fabric shops and not wanting to spend dollars to make fabric then recycling is a neat way to make your own. do it yourself fabric is unique and a cool way to recycle a favourite item. Believe it or not this weaving is done with torn strips of hubby's night shirt, frayed and ready to toss out when inspiration hit - guess he's still searching for it ... looks mighty like denim and gave a very strong and interesting texture fabric for a bag.
