It's always fun to try out new techniques. A little rug sample got a treatment of Damascus edge plus these cool little triangular knotted bits that taper the warp down in a protected way to be braided. I tried these both out with the help of our old friend Peter Collingwood. Open book is
The Techniques of Rug Weaving, and on the tablet is his
Rug Weaving Techniques: Beyond the Basics.
