Preparation

The making of handmade braided rugs requires the preparation of some tools and materials. First of all, some old wools need to be prepared, which can be discarded wools from your own home or purchased from the market. Secondly, some weaving tools are needed, such as a braiding machine, a braiding hook, a braiding bag and so on. Lastly, some auxiliary tools are needed, such as scissors, rulers and so on.

Choosing Patterns and Colors

Before making a hand-woven rug, you need to choose a suitable pattern and color. You can choose some simple geometric patterns, such as squares, triangles and so on, or you can choose some patterns with traditional cultural characteristics, such as flowers, animals and so on. When choosing the color, you need to take into account the style and color scheme of the whole home decoration and choose the color that matches it.

Making process

1. Making woven bag

First of all, you need to make a woven bag. Woven bags are used to hold wool and can be made in different sizes as needed. Making a woven bag is very simple, you just need to knit it with a wool knitting machine.

2. Weaving Rugs

Next, you can start weaving rugs. First, you need to take the wool out of the knitting bag, pass it through the holes in the bag with a knitting hook, and then pull it tight. Next, pass the yarn through the next hole in the bag with the braiding hook and continue to pull it tight. Repeat this process until all the wool in the bag is woven into the rug.

3. Adjust the texture of the rug

In the process of braiding a rug, you need to pay attention to the texture of the rug. If the carpet is too tight, it will lead to deformation or hardening of the carpet, and if the carpet is too loose, it will lead to deformation or loosening of the carpet. Therefore, in the process of weaving the carpet, you need to constantly adjust the texture of the carpet to make it reach the best condition.

4. Cutting the rug

When the rug is finished being woven, it needs to be cut to the desired size. Use a ruler to measure the size of the rug and then use scissors to cut it to the desired size.
