Must give credit to the yarn wool used for the whipped edge. That wool was a gift given me by a departed hooker and spinner friend Lesley Coveney. I'm not a spinner but those of you who are will understand that the tag attached to the hank of yarn was "Romney fleece, "Princess", and was dyed with Pro-Chem "Brick".
Kris and Lauren, you were right.... there was plenty of yarn to whip the edge of this rug and some left over.
Now waiting in the wings is binding the sheep rug. That one won't jave a yarn whipped edge but will be bound. Stay tuned to see that one and what is next on my frame.

Yay , a finish..Your rug is great. I am in the process of steaming my sheep rug and I started hooking "Holiday Ornaments". I am afraid everything is going on hold tho for the next month or so while I help make dance costumes.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish, Saundra. So happy the wool worked out for you and it is a perfect compliment to the rug and a loving tribute to your dear friend.
