Handwoven Wool Selvage Rugs

featuring Pendleton Mills Wool Selvages

For Sale


I've been busy at my "new to me" wonderful 1923 German rug loom!!  This heavy counter balance loom has opened up a new world of weaving to me.
The materials used in my handwoven rugs are wool selvages from the Pendleton Mill, makers of famous blankets and wool garments.  These selvages are left over during the weaving process and sold, a great recycling system for quality material!!  I use a variety of warp thread when weaving these rugs.  A lot depends on what the rugs weight is and the intended use.  I will either use cotton, cotton/poly, or linen as warp thread.
Please take a look at the following rugs for sale.  All have been handwoven here at Light in the Forest Wools on our North Idaho sheep farm by me.                                                          



Navy blue and forest green with white and gold threads add a Scottish tartan feel to this medium weight wool selvage rug.  It measures 27" x 46" and has a durable 4 layer hem at each end. 




This 25" x 37" great looking navy blue, burgundy, and gold wool selvage handwoven rug features blanket selvages which results in a heavier, shaggy rug.  Great to sink your toes into!
