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.
@@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 🤣😳)
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.

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 😀 😊
Such a well presented video. Thanks for sharing and making a difference. Debs from Down Under
This was a great video. I really enjoyed it.
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 😅)
Thank you....made a peg loom a year ago and this is a fantastic rug❤️now I know what to do👍
Okay, loom set up & ready to go. ✨🌸
Thank you 🌟
Never heard of a peg loom before, but sounds really interesting!
Thank you. I’m going to have a go at that. I’ll alternate weaving with spoon carving 😊
Thank you for showing us such a beautiful process. But how do you clean such a heavy rug after you've finished it?
So nice! Thank you for sharing
Really enjoyed learning about it.
lovely craft
Always such interesting and informative videos. Thanks!
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

Hiya, great video.What sort of twine did you use for the warp
Morning are you able to wash the rugs after making it.
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?
Do you have any advice on finding wool for those of us without sheep

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
Interesting! I was offered some raw wool, so I now know hat I can do with it.
If that is unwashed those sheep were really taken great care of.
Good
😍!!!
Oh wow i dodnt understand b4 that ur supposed to put strings thru the holes
Supper
Is that fleece a Jacob or one of the local breeds?
What keeps each section from unraveling
Hi
