Hello Fiber Arts Friday Fans.
This week will be a quick one. Usually I write up my posts days in advance but I’m late this week and scrambling to get one up.
Last weekend my mom, hubby and I packed into the car and took a trip down to Autumn Mist Fiber Mill to pick up my recently completed goodies. Last year I had sold my entire raw prime fleeces which left me with 3 years 3rds and some 2nds to play with. I decided on having it made into rug yarn which is thick spun roving looking material spun around a cotton core.
I’ve been waiting for this yarn for some time now to use on my homemade pegloom. Even though we didn’t get back from our trip until 7pm that didn’t stop me from warping up the loom and start weaving.
Just 1 hour after I started I had this beautiful rug!
Shameless Plug: I am going to start Fiber Market Monday’s back up next week. You’re welcome to post about fiber projects your making that will be for sale or highlight a fiber animal that is for sale/stud or maybe their fleece is for sale. Free advertising is always a good thing 
Lastly I’m going to change how I share the link parties I participate in. Instead of spamming you with all the buttons that I usually put here I’m on a collecting mission and will be organizing them all here. Right now it is a work in progress but I have plenty of link parties to fillin all those blanks. Still want your site on the front page? I offer very affordable advertising rates for everthing on the right hand column.
Isn’t it so much fun to hurry home and whip out a project that your so excited about? I love your rug. It looks like it will last a lifetime. Happy Fiber Arts Friday.

That’s lovely! Next time (or some time) could you explain the 3rds and 2nds thing? Thanks!

The rug looks really nice! Only an hour?! Wow. Believe it or not, my husband is the one who wants to get into weaving, not me. hehe.
I am excited for Market Monday.

Awesome looking rug. I think I’ve seen peg looms before but they were using fabirc?
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

Weaving is so fast, but so far I’ve been resisting the bug. Great rug!

That’s a fine looking rug, and such a fast project (for you, lol) it’s nice and cushy looking too! I’m excited to pop back on Monday and see the wonderful links.

I like your rug and cannot believe you finished in one hour. I just inherited a huge loom. I am not sure what to do with it. I didn’t have weaving on my radar but we will see. Thanks for hosting Market Monday. That is an interesting way to promote animals. I will be linking up. And maybe it will keep me on track for blogging 3x a week!! Happy FAF.
Your rug is gorgeous! I recently came across an ad for a free-form weaving class where I could learn techniques to weave on just about anything but…it’s during the day when I’ll be at work. Argh!
I am signing up for a weaving class at Fiber Fest this year and I am going to find a larger loom to rent or borrow because I’d like to try making my own rugs. This year…I am sending some fiber off to be make into rug yarn for when that day happens.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
