The loom for weaving a rug includes a frame defining a workspace for weaving the rug in which the frame includes a first, a second and a third frame member with a number of warp yarns extending across the workspace. Each of the warp yarns is coupled to the third frame member and a first set of the warp yarns is coupled to the first frame member and a second set of the warp yarns is coupled to the second frame member. The loom also includes at least one rod adapted to extend within the workspace to receive a first yarn pile thread looped thereon and about the first set of warp yarns to form a first yarn pile. The rod also receives a second yarn pile thread looped thereon and about the second set of warp yarns to form a second yarn pile. A method of making a rug as well as a rug itself is a further aspect of this invention.
