Most rugs are either warp-faced or weft-faced. In this rug, we went for a balanced weave, where you see the warp and weft equally. That means that a huge number of patterns were open to us and we picked this stylish plaited twill. We used Heavy Rug Wool, sett at 6 epi in the warp. The same yarn, beaten at 6 ppi, is used as the weft. The kit makes a rug with dimensions of 20" x 39" plus braided fringe. It can be hand washed and air dried.

You will need:

• Heavy Rug Wool: 4 skeins each of two colors
• 21.5" weaving width
• 8 harnesses
• 10 treadles
• 12 or 6-dent reed
• 127 heddles
• 2 flat, rug, or ski shuttles

Our rug uses Heavy Rug Wool color 160 Dark Grey as the main color and 128 Pale Grey as the secondary color.
