The project is simple and fun: we're taking old cloth that accumulates around the land and turning it into rugs. Torn bedsheets, old clothes, nothing is safe from our high-speed cutting machine!
The resulting rugs will be sold at the big summer gathering to raise money for our wintertime utilities. At this point, most of the people in the community have put in at least a few hours working on this project. It'll really pay off when we don't have to worry about utility bills during our off season.
Tower has done most of the real work on this project, warping the loom himself and supervising the new people as they learn the basics of weaving with rag strips.
