rug update and finale

Woohooo! I'm finished with the rug!
Seems that I miscalculated my warp length and so I became a bit creative in how much of each stripe I wove. Overall, I am very happy with it. Its a little thin, but its so soft and feels good on my feet.

This is the finished rug.



This photo shows it before I trimmed the warp strings and washed it.


Below is how the warp threads are tied off on the final row.



Showing the trash header -- this bunch of lighter colored weave gets pulled out and reused or tossed.



Cutting the warp off of the back of the loom.



Oops, I've reached the end of the warp.



One last shot of changing the stripe. I just love these vibrant colors.
