I, too, was entranced by his medicine to rug weaving story. And I started out weaving some small rugs. I don't weave rugs anymore, but anything Peter says I find to be pure gold.</p> Peter Collingwood has been my hero since I first started weaving.

My grandmother and uncle had a home-based business weaving and selling these kind of rugs. They used cotton string to warp and all of their materials (wefts) were repurposed - jeans, wool pants, t-shirts, even plastic bags (which made a great doormat!). My sister and I spent many a day at grandma's cutting or ripping clothes into strips, or sewing the strips end-to-end to get a nice long ball... Sometimes we even got to weave a little, too! Yours looks nice, and very familiar :)</p> That brings back memories! My grandmother and uncle had a home-based business weaving and selling these kind of rugs.
