knitting rags
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. On Thu, 30 Jul 2009 01:11:11 -0400, "DA" wrote: "mirjam" wrote in message ...

You use plain cotton thread for the warp and strips of rags for the weft. They turn out to be beautiful. DA |

Hallo Belinda , if you are loaded with small pieces yyou can also , take a strong cloth as back ground , make `clusters` of several pieces , pin them in lines , go over it with the machine , than do the next `line` , makes for a nice rag rug , sewen by machine Best knitting and crochet `size` cloth is when you twist it and it is the size of 2/3 pencil size ,,,,, mirjam |

At the moment I don't have any small scraps because I have been tossing them in the trash. Plans are to start cutting the next bolt of cloth for the next round of goodies to sale tomorrow. Now I have a way to use every scrap. Yay, Yay, Yay.......Lots of happy smiles |
