The Runner Rug Is Done



This was a tie-on project, using the remnants of the warp for the Dornik Herringbone throw rug. I used the same yarns to coordinate with the throw rug, but I wove this one plain weave instead of as a herringbone twill. 

The stripes were created by tying green yarn at the beginning and end of each threading section


So green was tied onto adjacent 8 and 4 threads (both even) and the 1 and 5 (both odd). In plain weave, all even numbered shafts lift together and all odd numbered shafts lift together. So the green ends look doubled in the fabric. Sounds complicated using words, but it was really pretty simple.

Yarns: 4-ply cotton
Structure: plain weave
Finished size: 23" by 68" excluding fringe

Eventually, it will go beside my Glimakra. I say eventually because my husband has a major renovation project going on in that room, so except for the weaving I manage to get done, the room is pretty much out of commission!
