For weft, I used brown carpet cotton, with some yellow ends, and for warp,&nbsp;different shades&nbsp;of brown sisal.</p>http://www.weavingtoday.com/media/p/788.aspxThu, 24 Jun 2010 22:44:46 GMT5ffd8302-701f-4cfc-9a21-79c99753e4d0:788Claudia Rizzi0<p>This rug was made in a continuous weave loom, with sisal, juta (another natural fiber, very common in Brazil) and cotton. The same yarns form fringes, which are decorated with small bamboo pieces.</p>http://www.weavingtoday.com/media/p/766.aspxThu, 24 Jun 2010 11:39:01 GMT5ffd8302-701f-4cfc-9a21-79c99753e4d0:766Claudia Rizzi0<p>This purse was made in a squared continuous weave loom, with colored sisal fibers, and a bamboo handle.

This is my first rug made in a German loom (plain loom?), very simple. I used colored cotton warp yarns, and cotton/sisal weft yarns. I also made some sisal flowers and placed as shown in the picture. </p>
