So I’ve started weaving on my new loom. Making sections using different kinds of wool in different stages of processing and different carding or no carding to see what gives best results.
This is my first time weaving and I’m using my handmade, homemade peg loom.
This first project is pretty much an experimental and practice for understanding how it works, finding the right wool for the right projects.

Very nice. The lanolin makes your hands soft. Great job.

What's really fun to do also with the dowel rod peg loom is to e wrap, purl stitch and true knit. The rug turns out looking amazing with different stitch patterns incorporated.

I know this is an old video, but I'd like to congratulate you on your first weaving, and I have to agree with you corridale fleece is a dream to work with. I don't bother washing my fleeces either whether for spinning or weaving rugs, the yarn I spin gets washed after I skein it, and if it's for rugs, I weave the rug first and it quite fun washing the rugs once they're woven, I do it outside in the sunshine and I slide my bare feet over the rug once it's all soaped up with a bucket of warm water and then the final rinse I hang it over the clothes line or fence and hose the soap out, they come up beautiful. Cheers from Australia!

I'm on this same journey. We've been raising Jacob sheep for 7 years; slowly improving the wool. Now I'm learning to spin & weave on a peg loom.

my peg loom arrived last night and I am excited to use it. I have churro sheep and also angora goats for fleece. I am not sure about the angora because I have heard it is difficult to work with. Their fleece is 7 or 8 inches long so I am hoping it will work well with peg weaving the roving.

I would love to see your work! How is it going with your peg loom so far?

Yes to the drum carder. It looks like you'll be burning through your prepped roving with this technique. I wonder how these rugs will hold up to wear as there is no twist in the weft. Your rug looks gorgeous though.

I have not completed a full rug yet summer time and gardening and farm work hit full force and kind of monopolized my time. Now that the busy harvest time is over for a few months, hopefully o can spend some time this winter in doors working in some of these wool projects. Thank you so much for watching.

@@Wilddaisyhomestead yeah it is gardening time here in NZ now so more time doing what needs done outside. so I understand maybe we will see a following video later when you get time 😊

Hi, Thanks for posting your video. It's nice to see how you tackled things. I would just say that I don't personally think you need to invest in a drum carder for using a peg loom. Other's may disagree... but my experience is that if you keep the natural lock structure of the wool, and just hand twist it with the locks in it, or dangling out (which is what I prefer) then it's going to be more hard-wearing, and possibly more attractive as you see more of the natural wool. This way you can retain the sun-bleached tips of the wool when you get those, and there's more dimension to the rug. When the wool is carded, and roving is used, if there is no twist on it, it will form a weaker surface on which to walk, and could be snagged. But, it's lovely too! Thanks for posting!
