peg looms
debbie's been intensely researching the use of peg looms for rug making. it seems that it's much more popular in the uk than it is here so that's where she ended up buying one (from manor house studio).
here is her loom:
and here is her first rug -- experimenting with the whole process end-to-end:
i'm already in line for a bathroom rug. ;-)
we still don't know too much about using fiber for these rugs. she will likely order some of the giant rolags offered by manor house studio. at least that way we can see what they look like. i don't know if it's something that i'll eventually be able to produce when i get my drum carder.
