Lemonade Rugs

10/12/2026

The most popular rugs at recent shows have been very neutral colored. Tan, gray, taupe, cream with maybe a hint of green or blue thrown in and so I have been diligent in replenishing those color ways.
But I love color! And rewarded myself by spending some time this morning going through my stash to find suitable weft for another sunset rug/wallhanging. Landscape rugs have also been in high demand and I do not have anymore in stock. It is times like this that I love my vast selection of fabrics and selvages and will most likely do some more digging before starting to weave. I do not know how many of these will make it into the final product but anticipate a happy time putting it all together. Landscape rugs are incredibly slow weaving and challenging, but a nice change from mindless neutrals. Each one takes on a life of its own, no matter the vision I have in my head.

Another fabulous class!
“a parallel threading is the weavers playground” taught by Robyn Spady and hosted at Tabby Tree Weaver
All of these designs were woven on the same warp This is not a finished project, but a way for me to experiment with different colors and weights(some unexpected beauties!). I will keep this weaving with the patterns for future reference.
We learned so much about manipulating drafts with computer software and the possibilities of parallel drafts. Well worth my time.

I have returned home from Michigan FiberFest where I took a class taught by Tom Knisely on double weave. We learned to weave fabric that is double the width of our warp. Using one treadle sequence, your project opens like a book. By changing the treadle sequence you can weave a tube and by changing it again, you can weave two layers that are unconnected. Or you can go off of the beaten path and weave a tunic with a slit on each side of the bottom, a slit for a neckline, armholes and woven shoulder seams. (Bonus points if it fits your grandson!)
