Boundweave, Slow Weaving but soooo satisfying! By Tom Knisely - Weavers who like weaving will love making a handwoven Scandinavian-style rug in a krokbragd boundweave pattern. Every part of this project goes quickly except the weaving. This project is a different way to look at time, because warping the loom for weft-face rugs takes very little time and the weaving is what takes longer. The rug weaving however is what brings the satisfaction.
Indonesian batik and a Swedish technique by Debra Sharpee - The batik fabric that is cut into strips for the weft in this hand-woven rug was dyed with indigo (batik is a dye technique used in many parts of Africa and Asia).The advantage to using a batik fabric for a rag weft is that in batiks, the dye is evenly distributed on both sides of the cloth.
Getting Started with Warp Rep by Tom Knisley - In addition to a delightfully smooth ribbed texture, through the use of color rep can produce a richly patterned cloth on as few as four shafts. This handwoven Scandinavian rug is a great project for teaching a beginner the joys of warp rep.
