Materials: hessian - this is a special type of hessian for arraiolos. You have all the squares done, (like a aida for cross stitch) and big 10cm(20 stitches) long squares marked. But the normal hessian fabric is also usable, though not so pratical.wool - this is a special 100% wool that usually is dyed with natural corants.
Here you can see a border I am stitching for a hessian rug - my first step was stitching the inside border, after the outside one, then the inside red and finally the green. Always being attentive that each rows are alternate: right/left and left/right.
This is the back. See that the position of stiches change according to the position of the sides of the rug.
Here I have a bit already finished. I was dying to see the end result of the colours.
And its back
