FLEECEWEAVING BY CARL AND CAROL LEE

ENCAMPMENT RIVER PEBBLE RUGS
AND
ENCAMPMENT RIVER RAGGIE RUGS



In the mid-1980's I was first shown the fleeceweaving method. In 1991, after moving to Wyoming and setting up my weaving studio, I happened to be watching the Encampment River from the foot bridge looking over the trail. Looking into the very clear water below, I thought a rug with those multicolored pebbles would really be beautiful.

Home I went to experiment and the

Encampment River Pebble Rug was born.



Carl and Carl Lee, Master Rug Weavers and Fiber Artists



Here in our weaving studio we operate six to eight floor looms, weaving many rugs per year. We have added the "Raggie" Rugs to our line. They are a flat woven rug using the carded or teased fleece for the weft. In 2005 we added needlefelting to our rugs. This lets me use the rug as a canvas to paint on with my dyed fibers and yarns, making a one of a kind rug even more special.



The rugs shown below are a sampling of styles that we weave here in our studio. To order a rug from us, email for a photo of rugs in stock or request a custom order. We offer rugs in approximate sizes of 24, 28, or 36 inches and in any length up to 12 feet. Width will vary with the thickness of the rovings we are weaving with.


For specially dyed colors see below.



To the left is our Handspun 2-3-4 ply Handwoven Wool Rug

These can be any length you wish and be a multicolor rug, normally a darker rug. The prices are listed below.

We can dye, spin, and weave your choice of colors, or we can use your fleece. Spinning adds an additional $55.00 per pound for the rug weaving wool yarns. We will invoice you for the cost of your requested rug.

We have limited quantities of Supersized Yarns spun by Carol for a one of a kind rug.



We weave fleecewoven Pebble Rugs in the approximate sizes of 22"-24" wide, at $25.50 per foot length, 28"-30" wide at $30.50 per foot, and 36"-38" wide at $35.50 per foot. This rug is very thick and heavily textured.

The Flat Fleecewoven Rugs called "Raggies" in the approximate sizes of 22"-24" wide at $20.50 per foot, 28"-30" wide at $25.50 per foot, and 36" to 38" wide at $30.50 per foot. This rug has texture, but no distinct pebbles and is not nearly as thick as the Pebble Rug.



aTo use specially dyed roving for your rug adds an additional $5.00 per foot to cover the additional time and cost of dyeing the roving.


Contact us with your wish and we will see if we can fill it!

If you wish Needlefelt designs added, send your design and we will do our best, or ask for something you see or would like for us to design.

Needlefelting starts at an additional $20 for simple designs and goes up as the design gets more complicated.
