An article from the Master Weaver bulletin describing a method of weaving chenille rugs with complete freedom of pattern. It explains planning the design in three paper stages on graph paper, choosing yarn, and dividing the rug into sections of picks. It then covers setting up the first warp (20/2 cotton, groups of 8 ends) and weaving each section as tapestry-like colour blocks to make the chenille weft. A worked example is a small 22½ by 30 inch rug, with notes on cutting the chenille and on the second weaving.
