The Wool Bump Rugs

This is just a quick post to share some photos.

Earlier in the pandemic, I dyed a bunch of core spun wool bumps that had been waiting in a bin in my studio. Over the past few weeks, I wove it all into rugs on my Glimakra loom. The warp is 8/4 linen sett at 6 epi. One of the rugs (second photo) has some other corespun that I got from my friend Laura. It was processed at a different mill and was much denser than mine. As a result, the rug has stripes of texture. The last rug is made of cotton loopers. It’s the only one that’s truly washable.
