22" x 36" rug woven and hooked from leftover materials |
- Green, blue, yellow, and orange warp I'd dyed and spun from a BFL fleece
- Black and orange Pendleton selvedge
- Bulky art yarn I'd spun for hooking (from dyed Shetland and Romney locks)
- Odds and ends of reclaimed bulky sweater yarn plied with various turquoise and magenta singles
Loom: Glimakra Victoria
Warp: 4 ends per inch
Weft: Pendleton selvedge and sweater yarn
Draft: plain weave
Weight of finished rug: 1 lb, 2 oz
Nantucket hooking creates patterns using bulky handspun rather than the more traditional strips of wool fabric favored by serious makers of hooked rugs |
The magenta areas are weft-faced simple weave without hooked embellishments. Black and orange is Pendleton selvedge. Diamonds and triangles are hooked into the sweater yarn bands of weaving. |
