I guess you have to keep the ends loose for the strips you are braiding with?

Then braid all of the reels. Is this hard to handle? I want to make a denim rug. Would like to braid 5 feet at a time, but how do I add them to the rug?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-19181241994907071382015-12-08T12:03:25.470-07:002015-12-08T12:03:25.470-07:00I have a lot of wool strips all ready to braid, I ...I have a lot of wool strips all ready to braid, I can no longer do it my self.

I have mill ends and clothes that have been torn down ( that are about 100 years old that are the remains of my great aunts stash from when she made rugs over 50 years ago before I was ever even thought of. I have never purchased pre cut strips I have always done that part my self. I do wash all my wool in hot water to shrink it as much as possible and this tightens the weave and makes the rug stronger. I have hand dyed wool any one can do that just use normal wool and dye it at home. No biggy you don't have to apy someone to do that for you.wendy harbaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612487318509998428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-86766089891110245362008-04-26T22:26:00.000-06:002008-04-26T22:26:00.000-06:00I love that you are doing a tutorial on this.

I got a pile of rug making supplies form my grandmother when she passed away, but I wasn't sure how to use them. <BR/><BR/>I missed the part where you explained what type of wool to use. Do you buy regular yardage and felt it in the wash? Do you get it in already cut strips? (That seems to be what my grandma had.) Is it that expensive hand dyed stuff from those booths at quilt shows?<BR/><BR/>Your etsy shop looks great too! Good luck over there!IamSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477300247354661564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-66422520040405741332008-04-26T11:26:00.000-06:002008-04-26T11:26:00.000-06:00I'm following these....I hope someday to make a ru...I'm following these....I hope someday to make a rug like the one in your sewing room for our bedroom.
