Instruction Video or DVD: How To Make the Oval Rug
This two hour video shows Helen making oval, round, and rectangle rugs and will assist you in making your own heirlooms. She also explains hands on how to form round or oval baskets. These have two different handles; the larger ones have two small handles on the ends and the smaller ones have one long handle. Follow along with her in "The Grange Studio" through all the steps of braided rug making and have fun doing so.
Rug Braiding Instruction Booklet
This instruction booklet will help you in making an oval rug and will come with instructions as to the width of the fabric and the length of the first row. From the start to the finish, follow along at your own pace.
Wool Rug Lacing Needle
This blunt needle has two holes for receiving the waxed lacing twine. It is made by the Braid-Aid Company and sold to you for use with the waxed twine. Using this blunt needle, you can lace between the loops without piercing the fabric.
Wool Rug Lacing Twine
The twine is waxed four-ply polyester and comes in an 8 ounce spool. One spool will be enough to complete a 4'X6' rug.
Twine Holder
Wooden twine holder that holds the rug lacing twine so that the roll doesn't get lost among the fabric pieces in your work space. The spool of twine fits over a wooden post, and a small steel peg removes excess wax from the lacing needle's eye.
Needles & Twine not included.
Rug Underlay
Guaranteed for 20 years. Protects your braided rug by cushioning and gripping. Easily cut with household scissors and cleans with a damp sponge. Made in Germany by WunderGRIP.
