Bathroom rug. First year with Schacht Flip rigid heddle loom 3/9

In between some serious weaving I made this simple 50x50 cm bathroom rug using rayon silk from an old crochet sleeveless top for warp and 16/8 cotton mop for weft.

Crochet edging was added to secure warp.

When brand new the rug looked so nice that we used it as table top for some time (it was hard to start walking on it right away).

If I decide to make another rug using the same mop, I may use more colourful warp.
