Wool Rugs

I've finished all the placemats and yesterday started on the first batch of wool rugs. These will be all light grey wool on a linen colored warp. I have bags of washed skeins sitting in the studio and I wound a bunch of them onto quills to put in my shuttles. James III wanted to help.

And then I started weaving. The Cotswold fleeces are a mixture of shades and I love the way the variations work out in the weaving. There is enough warp for 5 rugs and I had finished 3 by this evening. The next warp will be black yarn and dark grey wool and the final one (for the time being), an off white one with white wool.

And we planted parsnip seed this afternoon.
