Clasped weft.

I know you can't wait to learn this. Just kidding.
But this is for a few interested parties who have asked me how I do these rugs.
First, you have to say 'clasped weft' several times really fast.

OK, seriously. This is an easy way to weave really colorful rag rugs. The only thing is that you have to cut your strips of fabric half the width that you would normally cut them. Since you are going in the same shed twice, the end result will be the same.
I love this method. It is a great way to use up bits of fabric, and end up with a rug that looks like a patchwork quilt, well, kind of.

You might want to turn off my music.






And the end result is like this.

And that's pretty much it for today.
Sweet dreams are calling me.

Just a little warped,

Welcome to my world.
