This technique is called twining. It's slightly different from regular weaving in that it uses two strands twisted (twined) around each other instead of just one strand going over and under the warp threads. It makes for a pretty pattern that looks almost knitted. I made a rug this way a long time ago; I remember that I started at one end, got maybe 1/3 of the way up, and then turned the loom around and worked from the other side, finishing off in the middle instead of at the end. I can't remember now why I did that; maybe it was just easier to work that way or maybe I thought the edges would be more even. In any case, I thought I'd suggest it. I also found a good book called Twined Rag Rugs that was helpful. It's a fun way to make a rug and I think it goes faster than regular weaving because it uses two strands at a time.

How inspiring! The shades of blue the different denims create is beautiful. I've just recently begun using thrift store jeans to upcycle into handbags, clothing, and quilts. How fun to add rug weaving to that list! Wonderful tutorial! Thank you!

Love making rag rugs, as we call them. I'm making one, with your technique, from t- shirts. Have lots of jeans to make one, or maybe 2? Love your channel.

Hi there 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m desiring a denim weaved rug longer. Should I build a longer loom OR make two and somehow attach the two rugs together?
