I am a new self-taught weaver and am looking for fast simple projects to learn on. I have made several placemats and table runners using rug warp as warp and cotton worsted as weft. I have heard about "mug rugs" or coasters for coffee mugs, vases, etc, and would like to give them a try. But I dont know how to warp my Baby Wolf for them. they are about 5" square, so do I set up a 5" finished width warp, or use the whole width of the loom and leave gaps in the warp to make several side by side? If I do the latter, do I use a separate shuttle for each coaster, or do I just warp across and cut them apart with fringe on all 4 sides? Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks. Gail
