I have a couple of questions:
1. I have 55/2 rug wool from R&M Yarns and wondering what is the best sett for weaving a bound rosepath rug that will be durable with one strand of the yarn in the weft. When I have used two weft yarns per pic the result is too spongy. I am using 4/1 lumpy tow linen doubled in the heddles for the warp.

2. When I am weaving without a floating selvage, I am finding that I often have to wrap around the outer most warp thread in order for the pattern to go fully to the edge. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Any help is much appreciated!
