Rag Rug
This little rag rug, woven on the Glimakra Emilia rigid heddle, will probably be a bath mat. I used carpet warp, sett at 5 epi, and some torn up sheets from a second-hand store.

I haven’t done much weaving this summer, so I was pleased to find this sweet dolly at antique store. She was a steal at $4.
Believe it or not, every so often I wave goodbye to a loom. Recently, I sold my 25″ Erica rigid heddle loom to a new weaver who wanted to give it a try. The 12″ two harness Peacock, a teeny, vintage loom in need of new heddles and love, was also sent to a new home.
But even though I feel some relief and, yes, a bit smug, after sending these two out into the world (I’ve downsized! I’ve gained some space!), that hasn’t stopped me from welcoming a few more: one new, one old. (Hmmm… there goes that smugness.) I’ll blog about them at another time.
In the meantime, thanks for the memories, Erica. Glad to have known you, Peacock.
