rug out of denim

Lots of info on rag rugs at http://www.netw.com/~rafter4/. Probably more
than you wanted to know

My mom used to have a large floor loom that she used for weaving rag
rugs. She used all kinds of old clothing and sheets for her rugs. Those
were the best rugs -- strong, sturdy, laid nice and flat. Of course when
she had to move out of her house, the look had to go. There are still
rug weavers around here. I recently had several rugs woven from rag
strips that my mom had cut several years ago. Two were made from old
sheets. The other one was from knit shirts.

One day, when I have nothing to do, I will be able to read all these
exciting things I keep bookmarking! : -)

interesting.

The other way is to braid it. Do a search for that - it's nifty thing
too, I think.
