As always, another super helpful tutorial! I love these smaller projects because they are so quick and easy to make, but also super satisfying! And easy to gift!

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!! And I totally agree, these small projects are so satisfying and coasters are fantastic gifts!

Will be creating some for Xmas - thanks so much for all the tutorials - everything is set up so nicely and you are an excellent teacher.

[@spruceandlinen]

Thanks so much 😊

love these mug rugs, great small projects and beautiful little gifts. Thank you Janell

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you!

[@donnarequa1863]

Very well done tutorial! Thank you! ❤️

[@spruceandlinen]

Thank you so much! And you're very welcome ☺️

[@elizabethbarnett5781]

your loom arrived yesterday, warped it up last night, and completed this mug-mat today - it actually turned out pretty good, despite all the changes (wrong yarn, different colours, different # of rows) - so thank you!!

[@spruceandlinen]

That’s awesome! 😊

[@rinzasufiyan4822]

Thank you very much

[@lorrainebeckwith1507]

Brilliant! Thank you 😘

[@spruceandlinen]

You are so welcome!

[@stefanitadio6236]

I'm always amazed at how few stitches you go under to tuck in an end. I'm always thinking if 3 is good, 20 must be better! 🤣

[@spruceandlinen]

Hahahaha, as I always say, you do you! That’s hilarious though, 20 is a LOT 🤣

[@bluewater519]

I’m a very beginner so I would like to know what is the meaning of 4/8 warping string? You have been so helpful answering all my questions. Love your videos

[@spruceandlinen]

Check out this reel on Instagram for a brief explanation: instagram.com/reel/CPHxhVqDL1w/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

[@MsSavvy9]

I love this even though every project I've tried so far has turned into a mug rug. 🤭

[@spruceandlinen]

Hahaha, you can never have enough mug rugs! 🤣

[@MsSavvy9]

@@spruceandlinen agreed! 🙌🏼

[@davidhadland3183]

[@spruceandlinen]

Hola .Hoy por primera vez he descubierto tu canal.Como puedo adquirir este tipo de telar? Gracias😊

[@Time4Tech]

I need one for my Tim Hortons cups

[@spruceandlinen]

Time to take up a new hobby? 😉

[@catlou9]

I'm confused about the string and yarn colors - are they both off-white?

[@spruceandlinen]

Yes- the warp string is off white, and the weft strings (horizontal) are off white and yellow

[@catlou9]

@@spruceandlinen Thank you!! :)

[@catlou9]

Sorry to bother you again - what about the Bernat cotton yarn? I thought that was off white as well.

[@susancasaccia]

I'm enjoying your tutorials. It would be easier to see if you filmed on a plain white background.

[@spruceandlinen]

Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@Timmyjg2004]

How does the string not fall off the end? is the weave twining meant to hold it?

[@spruceandlinen]

The tight twining stitch and plaint weave at each end with thin yarn holds things in place nicely.

[@cheryldurkin9017]

I don't have any cotton string. Is yarn ok to use and what kind would be best? Love your work and easy to follow!

[@spruceandlinen]

Yes, it can work- it's not quite as nice to work with but if you have something with little to know stretch that would be ideal ☺️ you can also try twine if you have some kicking around!

[@hessah9960]

جميل 🌷👏

[@nancymacaraeg1381]

Hi, may i know the size of the mug rug

[@mmedaphne2642]

I don't understand how you to the ending twining row. The video speeds up when you do it and I'm not sure if you cut a piece of yarn to to the twining or use the same piece. 😅

[@spruceandlinen]

Cut a new piece and start at the end opposite of the side you ended your plain weave on 😊

[@cindyadams376]

I sure wish you would have used a different background. I could barely see the loom. Maybe next time? Thanks.

This is not beginner friendly at all
