This rug was inspired by a weaving class I took in New Mexico a few years ago.  We learned to create different kinds of horizontal and vertical stripes that are traditional in Rio Grande weaving.  In this rug, I have interposed these stripe motifs against a background of my hand-spun, hand dyed yarns in shifting, vibrant colors:  the reds, oranges and greens.  

 Contents:  100% wool Lincoln Longwool, raised in the Gallatin Valley, near Bozeman, Montana.  Lincoln is prized as an excellent rug wool; it is soft yet durable, with a long staple-length and beautiful sheen.  The warp yarn was spun by our local, organic mill; the weft yarns were hand-spun by me in natural and dyed colors.  I wove the rug on my Swedish floor loom.  

Size:  3' X 5' approx.

I loved making this rug and  I hope my creation brings you joy as well.
