An instructional article from the Master Weaver series on weaving chenille rugs by the two-stage method. It explains the structure of flat and round chenille weft, how to plan, thread, sley and weave the first warp that produces the weft, and how to cut and store the strands. It then covers weaving the rug itself with the chenille weft, including combing the pile, the use of binder, and colour effects (mottled, striped, vertical stripes). A short excerpt on chenille from C.G. Gilroy (1844) closes the piece.
