- Maggie from New Haven Coppice takes us through the process of weaving a rug using an ancient peg loom technique at the 2019 Bushcraft Show. She uses sheep wool, which can be a luxurious byproduct of keeping livestock.

Thankyou for sharing this video. People need to learn and practise these old skills and its lovely to see such a young craftswomen demonstrate.
My husband and I were shepherds in Scotland and winter evenings whilst he was making shepherds crooks out of hazel I was weaving mats on my peg loom.....my grandmother didnt have a bought mat in the house.....making things for the home was a winter project for most country people and yes my grandpa sat at one side of the proggy mat loom with his own progger and basket of scrap materials and if any neighbours visited there was always a spare prog😊
Maggie thank you for your comment. I have such a vivid image in my mind of you, your husband and grandparents weaving and making crooks together- really beautiful. It is indeed lovely to see traditional crafts being taken up by younger generations.
Absolutely charming presenter, well explained and easy to follow. A real pleasure to watch and learn. I was gifted a fleece and also a peg loom, minus the dowels, but off I go. Thank you.
Such a well presented video. Thanks for sharing and making a difference. Debs from Down Under
My partner and I are making a sleeping matt just as you did. Thank you for the well informed video!! Love it. Have a wonderful evening 😀 😊
This was a great video. I really enjoyed it.
Okay, loom set up & ready to go. ✨🌸
Thank you 🌟
Thank you. I’m going to have a go at that. I’ll alternate weaving with spoon carving 😊
Thank you....made a peg loom a year ago and this is a fantastic rug❤️now I know what to do👍
oh amazing! I really want to try this with some of my longwool fleeces (because I’m too lazy to card and spin all of them 😅)
So nice! Thank you for sharing
Never heard of a peg loom before, but sounds really interesting!
Always such interesting and informative videos. Thanks!
Really enjoyed learning about it.
lovely craft
Thank you for showing us such a beautiful process. But how do you clean such a heavy rug after you've finished it?
0:53 Looks like a small dog is hiding in the basket of wool lol
Fab video. Off to find some fleece now
Nice rug. All my dogs' hair will be going to good use next sprng.
LOL! Just don't get it wet! Nothin like the smell of wet dog to make your day! 😄😄
@@CamilleGG451 that’s why wash out the oils and dander, it shouldn’t have a smell after a few washes
@@indigenousspinster_6665 OK! Haha- I was just joking around but you make a good point 😄 (I still shan't be making a rug with leftover dog hair though 🤣😳)
Morning are you able to wash the rugs after making it.
Hiya, great video.What sort of twine did you use for the warp
Do you have any advice on finding wool for those of us without sheep
Thanks for your question. There are a number of British companies and farms selling wool for rug making, knitting etc and ordering online is really simple. Here are a few examples: pensans.co.uk/romney-latch-hook-rug-wool; www.edgefoldwoolsandyarns.co.uk/myshop/cat_979887-100-British-Wool.html; and www.patchworksheep.co.uk/product/handspun-wool-rug-yarn-weaving-super-thick-chunky-natural-undyed-puzzle/. Some have been coloured while others retain the natural wool colours from sheep such as gorgeous spotted Jacob sheep. If you're outside of the UK or are interested in wool from other countries then have a look at Etsy.
magnificent art and know-how!! what is the breed of sheep of the wool used?? Thank you very much
Nice video! do you wash it after to felt it until it's a solid mat?
Interesting! I was offered some raw wool, so I now know hat I can do with it.
Great video , going to make my own peg loom .
Can you wash the wool before making the rug or do you have to use unwashed wool ?
you can use anything which can be woven in and out of the pegs
Oh wow i dodnt understand b4 that ur supposed to put strings thru the holes
Is that fleece a Jacob or one of the local breeds?
If that is unwashed those sheep were really taken great care of.
Good
😍!!!
What keeps each section from unraveling

@@charardinosaur Even with that hair colour, no man will give you a second look.
@@TanakaJulian If other men were as pleasant as you’re being then none would want them to. Luckily most men aren’t.
"Keeps your hands really nice and soft." has mankiest hands I've ever seen with gross gnarled dirty nails. D:
you don't find many mani/pedis at bushcraft fairs strangely enough. and thank fuck
She's working with fleece directly off sheep. Do you think the sheep bathe? Wth
