Funny Farm

A fearsome foray into my fiber follies. I talk about weaving, knitting, spinning and dyeing. Some chatter about the sheep, goats, pigs and chickens.

Nine Rag Rugs

denim rug

It looks so much nicer in person. Here it looks bumpy with bad selveges. Not so.





















love the fabric hem over one created from rug warp












multi-colored warp and black fabric


















flannel rug























and a matching flannel rug













denim rug with white denim stripes























taupe sheeting with multi-color warp












rosepath design showing front and back. That's the hem in the center














Black and white warp and black patterned sheeting












another rosepath rug but showing the back. Problem. I was careful to run each fabric strip, face up, in each pick. I was very pleased with the lighter shade on the reverse side of the rug. However, half way through the color changed. I can't figure out why. One one side (up while weaving) the color is consistent. The color shifted on the other side. The fabric is all from the same source and was washed. No idea what happened.
