Sett: For a plain weave rug, I set the warp at 6 ends per inch and often use 2 ends of carpet warp as one 'working end', which means measuring enough warp for 12 ends per inch of rug width. For these plain weave rugs, I normally weave with fabric strips about 1.5 to 2 inches in width.ett: For a plain weave rug, I set the warp at 6 ends per inch and often use 2 ends of carpet warp as one 'working end', which means measuring enough warp for 12 ends per inch of rug width.

Port Gibson is a city in Claiborne County, Mississippi, United States. The population was 1,840 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Claiborne County. Chartered as a town on March 12, 1803, Port Gibson is Mississippi's third-oldest European-American settlement, being occupied in 1729 by French colonists, as it was then within French-claimed territory, La Louisiane.
During America's Civil War, Port Gibson is best remembered as one of General Grant's first conquests after crossing the Mississippi River during the Vicksburg Campaign of 1863. Landing at nearby Bruinsburg, Grant's troops marched down the Old Rodney Road, then engaged and repelled Rebel troops near the Shaifer House. During this campaign, Port Gibson escaped the fiery fate of other Mississippi towns. In a famous legend, Grant reportedly stated that the town was too beautiful to burn.. He left Port Gibson mostly unscathed on his northward trek to Vicksburg.
