In our 2500 square foot showroom we have several floor models of our Rio Grande® looms. On these looms we hand weave a variety of contemporary rugs, blankets, and pillows. If you travel to Taos you can visit the showroom where we have many weavings in stock ready for purchase. But we also have certain designs that we reproduce on a custom basis with colors and sizes to suit your taste. See the following images with prices per square foot. Each design can be ordered in either rug or blanket weight.
The rugs and blankets are weft face (flat) weaving, usually with tapestry designs with a contemporary southwest look. The wool yarns are hand-dyed with the best synthetic dyes chosen for their color fastness. The warp is a very strong wool worsted warp. The quality of these weavings is exceptional. BLANKETS are woven of a long staple American fine wool...very soft to the touch. The blankets are very flexible and light. They weigh approximately 3 ounces per square foot. RUGS are woven of a long staple, lustrous New Zealand Romney mix which we have custom spun for us. This is a coarser, thicker yarn is packed in tightly to form a heavy, stiff rug. They weight approximately 6 ounces per square foot. The fringe is a braided fringe which secures the warp against wear. All WeavingSouthwest designs are available for custom order in any of our 78 hand-dyed colors in sizes from 45" wide up to 60" wide and any length. Please be aware that color reproduction on computer monitors is not exact. For information on custom colors in a specific design click here. |
