This grey orange rug has been hand woven in my studio near Ballarat.  The rug was woven on a 4 shaft loom using wool I have hand spun and dyed.  The wool was produced on our farm. The orange dyed wool is English Leicester and the Grey wool is EnglishLeicester/Romney.

The warp is cotton. This is a long wearing rug.  I have rugs that are 30 years old and still going strong

Size is 70 cm   x 245 cm approx.

The rug can be cleaned by hand washing.
