"Hi, weavers! Ho, weavers!
Come, and weave with me!
You'll rarely find, go where you will,
A happier band than we!"
Choose, for the body of your rug, carpet yarn of a color you will like in the room where you will put it.
What color that looks well with this, will you choose for the stripes?
String your loom with one long piece of warp. Draw it so it feels firm. Leave long, free ends.
Thread your needle or shuttle, and weave from both ends to the middle.
Lift the rug from the loom when it is woven full.
Run the ends of the warp strings along the sides of the rug; or, tie them to the next warp strings.
