BEDROOM RUG WOVEN USING LEICESTER LONGWOOL

Bedroom rug woven by my Granddaughter aged 9 using my Leicester longwool spun yarn for weft and Axminster rug wool - French navy  https://airedaleyarns.co.uk/index.php/axminster-rug-wool-ax33-french-navy.html  

A variety of yarn dyed for her to choose from I think she has half left for a second similar rug.

All three rugs choosing different selections of the same wool. What a wonderful job done by a nine year old.

I wash fleece in small quantities about 250 grams a day then dryed in the airing cupboard along with spun and dyed skeins.
