- Persian Rugs - A Weaving History By: George Royal
Carpet and rug weaving in Iran (Persia) dates back to 3500 years in the bronze age, according to some experts. The oldest evidences of this art date back to the third to fifth centuries AD discovered in Eastern Turkestan, and hand-weavings of the Seljuks of Asia Minor. Carpets from Safavid dynasty (1501-1736) in the 16th century are also some of the earliest products in the history of carpet-weaving.

- The History Of Rugs By: James Adams
The history of rugs is quite amazing. The weaving of rugs and carpets dates back to at least 500 BC. Rugs are made by weaving, at least this is how they started making rugs. Weaving is nothing new, our ancestors have been doing it for thousands of years. The first weaving that was done was to make baskets. They made baskets out of anything that was pliable, leaves, grass, twigs and whatever materials could be found at the time.
The most common material used for rugs back t...

- Sheep To Shawl By: Michelle Winters
Wool Preparation Instructions
Select a fleece with a staple (fiber) length of at least two inches. Shorter fleeces can be spun without difficulty, but if you intend on using your handspun yarn for warp in weaving, the longer staple fibers will result in a stronger yarn.
Lay your fleece out on a table, cut side up. If the fleece is bundled, try to unroll it to maintain the wool as it came off the back of the sheep. Look over the surface of the fleece and remove any short...

- Designing Handwoven Fabric By: Kimberly Thane
There are several elements which go into designing fabric which are easy to determine. First, the proper fiber content of the yarn for the project being considered. For instance, you wouldn’t necessarily choose a fine silk yarn for a washcloth or rug, or a scratchy synthetic yarn for a delicate blouse fabric.
Secondly, the appropriate sett for the size yarn used or the desired effect wanted in the fabric. Too close and the fabric will be hard, too open and it will be gauzy...

- Use Indian Baskets For Unique Mountain Interior Design By: Nelson Montana
Indian baskets come from a long and interesting history of native lifestyle. I like using these unique baskets to bring Native American style to my home. It is fascinating when you start studying the history of Indian basket weaving and find that basket use actually began hundreds of years ago and is one of the oldest art forms known in North American history. Indian baskets, made by Tribes like the Pueblo, Apache, Navajo and Tarahumara are well-known for their detailed, hand-crafted designs and intricate styles. As you learn about basket weaving, you will learn that in many Native American Tribes, women are given the task of basket weaving and learn as a young girl from their mothers. Baskets are used for many things in the daily lives of the Native Indians and allow the people to make a living.
