Mug Rug Samples

The first series of mug rug samples was done on my Harp at the same (8 epi) set as the reeds on the Artcraft looms. I used 8/4 Maysville warp (natural) and good old Peaches & Cream cotton for weft on the first four (plain red, variegated, variegated + plain blue and clasped-weft tapestry) and one inch rag strips on the last two. They took about 20 minutes or less actual weaving time, the simple rag strips less than 15. This is going to be a great way to test drive rag rug design concepts - in miniature.
