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

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. DA i use very strong Cotton [ the kind that is used by builders etc,,, But to give it some `Interest` , i also throw in several Colored cotton threads , in groups of 8-16 This will cause some of the Cloth weft to look different + a nice elongate lengthway stripe o the work . mirjam |

I have done a "toothbrush rug" made by cutting the good parts of an old sheet that had colors I loved into strips (http://www.toothbrushrug.com/) and using it for a bath mat and am going to make more for dog crate mats. |

But it was interesting reading Mirjam, if I can do this without buying a kit, you can, too. I just read about it somewhere, looked it up on the Internet and found the link I posted to you among others, make a tool out of a toothbrush, ripped up an old sheet that I loved the colors of but couldn't use as a sheet, and did it. |
