Making a new rug

My first try at making a rug out of what my wife and her friend said was unspinnable
I have decided to make a peg rug on  my home made loom
After an hour or so and actually filling the pegs [ I think thats what they call them]
twice, I did'nt know if it should be pushed down ro slide down.
But I had better spread the colours out more evenly.
                                                                                                           
There, that is the third batch I have four different types of wool to mix

Well that the fourth batch coming of the pegs , the wools I have used  are
Ryland  + Suffolk ,Mule ,Jacobs , and some Merino.
I have found quite a large amount even I can't use, it just seems to fall to piece .

 Now I have not very much left so my only thought is if it too small
I can let Meg my dog use it . I know she likes sleeping on one made of the same 
material when we go to stay at a friends house in Wales.
There we are the last of it , I think it may be o.k. for the dog
I shall get it off and have a look.
Wait a minute Ursula {my wife }  has come with a little more . The next job is to 
take all the pegs off and finish the job off leaving a  little string to fasten 
up as tassles .
Well Meg seems to like it anyway , so that one use for it .
