More of the rag rug
It is called a rag rug here in New England
What it refers to in this scatter rug
Is that there are strips of cloth cut and placed inside a warp or in between the cotton threads while under tension on a loom
My particular loom is a floor loom 60 inches wide
I can create different width in size rugs and go for how ever long. the rug needs to be
I created this rug 2 feet wide and went 40 inches long
When I cut the rug off the loom it shrunk like a rubber band being released from under tension
So I lost 4 inches as the material and yarn shrunk up immediately
I added at the ends a woven hem keeping all the fabric strips in place .
As I sit at the loom I pick out the colors as I go
If you like this rug I have put it up as a listing on Etsy in my shop
