Boundweave Rug by Tom Knisely 4-Shaft Project "Many of us follow daily schedules that leave very little time for weaving, so we look for projects we can complete in the little free time we have. Here is a different way to look at time. Warping the loom for weft-faced rugs is very fast. It’s the weaving that takes time, but it’s the weaving that brings great satisfaction. Whenever you have a moment, you can spend it joyfully at your loom (no thinking or planning, only the rhythm of weaving, the feel of the weft , watching the growing pattern)." -Tom Knisely STRUCTUREBoundweave (rosepath threading). < td> FINISHED DIMENSIONSOne rug 241/2" by 40" plus 6" fringe.
