Wool Rag Rugs

September 05, 2013 in Fiber

Do you know of Pendleton blankets? They are high quality wool blankets which designs are often inspired by Native American motifs. (We received one as a wedding present from good friends and I am SO EXCITED to use it this winter. Thanks T&L!) I recently found out from a very helpful rug weaving video (yep, I own weaving videos) that the Pendleton company sells their selvedge scraps - the edges of the blanket they cut off when finishing. I was super excited about this and ended up purchasing a whole bunch of Wooly Worms:

I might have purchased too many. I'm afraid to tell you how big that box is. But for the amount, they were fairly cheap. Well, sort of. Shipping was more expensive than the poundage total!

Anyway, I've started weaving small rag rugs out of them. And the result has been sweet!
