A rag rug is a beautiful and useful piece of textile art that recycles used fabrics into something practical, creative rhythm. Using techniques such as weaving and braiding or hooking, a rag rug is made, in which the spirit of sustainability lives on by repurposing old textiles into something beautiful again.
Rag rugs are usually a patchwork of various colors and patterns because they are made from leftover fabric scraps including old clothes, bed sheets or other materials. This could range from being a soft comforting feeling to something more rugged depending on the technique of crafting used and also what thickness of fabric strips that are utilized.
When making rag rugs, there are several crafting techniques used and all these contribute to different textures and designs. Common techniques are weaving where fabric strips are intertwined to form an irregular pattern as well as a sturdy structure and braiding which involves plaiting of strips so that they coiled together forming circular designs. Another way is hooking, where fabric strips are pulled through a base material which arrives at magnificent patterns and designs. Get the book today and learn how to reuse your old fabrics into nice rug.
