Latest creation from the peg loom
« on: January 25, 2013, 10:01:31 am »
This is made from Romney and Coloured Ryeland fleece which I washed and carded first.
It seems to work better this way than the unwashed, uncarded fleece I did previously.

Wonderful......a wall hanging would be fantastic......as much as I love the white I can see it would get dirty very very quickly in this doggie house!!

I could see myself enjoying making stuff on a loom, like I said, a wall hanging...wonder if you could do a sort of tartan?

That's gorgeous, I've only ever used uncarded fleece but seeing yours, I'll have to have a go now  :thumbsup: .  Well done you - you must delighted with what you've achieved in general on your smallholding in such a short space of time  :hug: .

Sandy, this would also get very dirty here but I have made it especially for the guest room (no dogs allowed)

Wow Sally! I'd be chuffed to bits if I could make something like that out of my GFD fleece - am feeling inspired....

Blackbird it was soooo simple to do. It could even be done by a child. Do give it a go with your GFD fleece.

How long roughly would you say that it took you to complete, Sally?


My neighbour has just given me some hand carders (is that what they are called  ??? ) that belonged to his late wife so think I can prepare some Soay fleece in the Spring. If so, I think I might have a go at a peg loom rug.

ITH, if you don't include the carding then I would say it probably only took about 4-6 hours.

I do not let the dogs in the bedrooms.......that rug is so very pretty, it would also make a great shower or bathroom rug....are they easy to wash and dry?
So love that look.......I think Bloomers wife had some for sale but they were not shifting too fast, thats such a shame as I love them...I still have a peg rug but its too heavy to wash in my washing machine and now it stinks of damp dogs  ::)
