Spanish rug weaving



Often part of the fabric is a flat weave, part looped. The loop is woven into the rug, however, not hooked through a backing material. They are finished with a woolen fringe which is sewed around all four sides.

Their designs are simplified versions of other Spanish rugs, with squares, diamonds, stars and circles, stiff birds and animals, flat flowers and trees.

In the border or in the field there is often an angular grapevine with leaves and fruit.

The simple color schemes are not subtle, but clean-cut and sparkling—green and white, red and black, blue and yellow.

Occasionally a third color is used—dark blue and white with red, or blue and yellow with black.
