This second volume of the Rugmakerâ€™s Handbook series is designed to teach textile explorers of all skill levels to make practical, durable rugs on simple frames using very basic tools. If you have ever wished for a loom to weave rugs, this book will help cure your â€œloom envyâ€ with over forty techniques to create rugs with patterns and textures that just canâ€™t be reproduced on a loom. Various types of frames are explained including: high-low, flat, pegged, fifth stick, pinned and scroll frames. Unique warping methods allow the creation of rugs with four finished sides, even in freeform shapes. The book is divided into tensioning and non-tensioning methods and techniques worked horizontally and vertically on the warp strands. Learn such oddities as the twisted warp techniques, spider web warp and the cheaterâ€™s warp. This is not a â€œcraftâ€ book, but rather a reference book and includes over forty techniques, most of which have never before been published.
