Can a Handwoven Yoga Mat Beat a Store-Bought One?

I wove my own custom yoga mat on a handloom, combining traditional rag rug weaving techniques with modern materials to create a non-slip, cushioned yoga mat designed for a tall yogi. In this video, I show how I used foam shelf liner as weft material to weave a handmade yoga mat that is comfortable, durable, and sized specifically for my 6'4" frame. If you're interested in handloom weaving, rug weaving, yoga, DIY fiber arts, weaving projects, or creative loom experiments, I hope you'll enjoy this one. As many of you know, I've been dealing with some back and knee pain, and yoga has become an important part of my routine. Unfortunately, most commercial yoga mats aren't built for someone my size. Rather than settling for a mat that curls up at the edges or isn't long enough, I decided to weave my own.
