weaving: linen rugs

Weft – 1 1/2” linen duvet cover strips

Warp – 114” warp in 8/2 cottolin in beige (I doubled the strands, both in the reed and in the heddles)

EPI": 6 (1-1-1-0 on 8-reed)

264 ends (double-threaded)

Tabby structure

22 inches wide in the loom

Finished: two rugs, each 20” wide (one 36” long and one 34” long)

I used an old linen duvet cover, torn into 1 1/2” strips, to weave two linen rugs for the bedroom and bathroom. The duvet cover was a queen size, and I think I could probably get one more similarly sized rug out of the remaining strips.
