Material
The yarn used to weave this extra large carpet is mainly beige and grey secondhand macrame yarn, as well as some black crochet rope, created from a mix of different black secondhand yarns. The warp used for this piece is a dusty pink and white secondhand cotton twine.
Technique
The rug was woven on a small table loom in two long strips. The width of the loom is about 48 cm, so that two long pieces form a 96 cm wide rug together. Each side was woven in a simple pattern, but containing various contrasting geometric elements, like stripes and triangles. After each piece was woven, they were knotted at each end to secure the fabric and finally sewn together by hand, to make the seam as invisible as possible.
Styling
This large carpet is a perfect center piece for your living room. The geometric black and white pattern fits with a variety of styles. The dusty pink gives an interesting twist and a little bit of color to the piece. Mounted on a wooden peg, this rug could make a great piece of wall art as well.
