This is one of the war rugs I saw this week.When I was learning to weave on a floor loom I started to research different types of rugs. My teacher told me about Afgahni war rugs. I have no idea (well, some idea) of how they're made. I wanted to try to make one myself, but I got distracted and never got around to it. I saw a few this week at the Charlotte Antique Fair (the fair was a bust, but that's another story) and I decided to do more research. Now, I think I am re-inspired to give it another go. I don't plan on using my floor loom for this. Instead I think I will make a basic nail-in-board loom. I would imagine a small (10"X10") rug will take about 40hours. We'll see.
I found this one online at warrug.com.
