How to Weave a Rug Pattern on a Frame Loom

Video Transcript

Hi this is Debbie DeRomatier from Expert Village. We're making a pattern in a rag weave rug on a handmade loom. So we're going to do a little more of our pattern so you can see where it's going. Okay, so now, right here I still want this one to be just singular and this is where I got more than one going, this happens to be four, the rest of them are three. We're going to put those four under and these three up and we want it to stay untwisted so we can get a whole inch there and really add it on. And these three go under and these three come up, so you can see that it's an entirely different kind of pattern because you can see more of the cloth. Here's three on top and three underneath; we want those to come on top here; three underneath, three on top, three underneath, three on top, three underneath, three on top, and then here's where we start back to our regular weave. So this one on top, this one on the bottom, we want this one to come up, we want to straighten that out, these are kind of squished over, but we know this one on the top and this one on the bottom, so we're going to put them back in place and put this one here. This one on top, this one on the bottom, the bottom one comes up. When you're using a finer material you can actually use a comb to pat these down, but I'm just doing it as I go to make them pretty straight. This is on top, this one was on the bottom, that one comes up and then that one comes up and then we just want to turn the corner and I'll trim this later, but just to secure this piece right here, and we don't want to pull it too tight so that we have a nice square margin, and we tuck that behind.
