Rag Rug Handbook

Another great book I found is the Rag Rug Handbook by Janet Meany and Paula Pfaff. This is the greatest book ever!! It tells everything you need to know about rag rugs. How to prepare the material and what to use, how to put it together and all sorts of patterns. It has many patterns for two harness looms which is what I have. How to do all sorts of stripes both horizontal and vertical. 20 different rug projects and even a room sized rug. How to sew the whole thing together and make a 6 x 9 ft rug. There is even a great history of looms chapter. It tells about all the great old loom makers. This is an excellent book for anyone making rag rugs.

Weaving Book

I found this great book "Learning to Weave" by Debbie Redding. It has everything you want to know about weaving. How to warp, and tie on, and the different weave structures and great illustrations. I have already learned a better way to tie-on to the front apron rod. her way is much better and tighter. I got a really good price on Amazon as a used book.
