How to Weave a Rug
Rug weaving is an ancient craft, dating back to at least 3000 BC. It may seem intimidating at first, but it’s actually pretty easy and fun! With a few tools and some patience, you can weave your own rug in no time. You’ll need the following: yarn (preferably wool), a loom with pins on either side of the warp threads, stringing needle to tie knots around strands of weft yarns that will go over the pins on one side of the loom and under them on another side. The steps are as follows:
The first thing you need to do is cut your yarn. You can use any type of yarn, but it should be a thick and durable type of string. Tie the two ends together for an end knot that will keep the strings from pulling apart as you work with them inside the loom. To weave a rug, all you have to do is lay out your yarn over the top of the weaving board and then push it down into place with one hand while pulling on both ends with your other hand to tighten up each row before moving onto the next one. Once finished laying threads for each row in order from front-to back as well as right side up or upside down if necessary (depending), take thin cardboard or something else flat that will fit comfortably against what will eventually become sides so they don’t move around when we start weaving!
