Hi! I am totally in love with the "rugs on the wall" trend. Especially in winter it makes your room cosier! But with fresh colors, this trend will be going on all year. I made this for the one wall in my room, where also the
Stitch Decor is hanging.
What you will need:
- a loom or a cardboard
- cotton yarn
- wool roving (different colors)
- wool yarn in white
- scissor
- stick or a branch
How to proceed:
- If you don't have a loom, you can always just take a cardboard and cut the two opposite lengths of it. My cuts had a gap of 1cm between each other and were also 1cm deep. Here's your self made loom!!!
- Warp your loom.
- Make some tassels at the bottom of your weaving. (Slip the center of your folded fringe over the first warp string and then back to the top. Fold the long ends through the center, as shown on picture... Pull gently so that the knot tightens.)
- Weave with the white wool yarn up to 2cm.
- Start weaving with the wool roving. In contrast to the weaving with wool you'll have to weave with no tool.
- I pulled the first layer up, so that you couldn't see the white cotton yarn. The next layer was kept straight. The same procedure on and on.
- In the end weave again with the white wool yarn (1-2cm).
- Be careful, taking it off the loom. Straighten every string. When finished, cut the looms open and wrap the ends around a stick (I used a branch). Knot together when tightened.
- Hang the Wool Art on the Wall!
