Our Master Series rugs are the pinnacle of hand weaving and are designed, dyed, woven, and finished right here in our Connecticut Studio. Our team was tasked with customizing our Teff Cooley’s Grid, adding color across the linen warp and wool weft, to create an ombre plaid effect across the design. The above photos illustrate a few steps of the design process; 1. Selecting the color of the linen warp and wool weft and identifying color placement across the pattern, 2. The CAD process showing the color placement, and how the colors will interact across the warp and weft, 3. The initial sample on the loom showing the adjustments of the weft colors during development, 4. The magic of the ombre linen warp and wool weft intersecting on the loom.
