Thanks for the ideas for use of rags. I do a lot of sewing and have uses for
most of the scrap, except the long thin strips less than an inch wide or pieces
smaller the 4inx4in (size used to make 9 square quilt blocks). I do more
crochet than knitting, so I will try some rag crochet. I have lap looms to try
weaving rag rugs.

Do you weave "rag rugs"? You use plain cotton thread for the warp and
strips of rags for the weft. They turn out to be beautiful.
