7 Ways to Make a Rag Rug from old Clothes
One of the best ways to recycle old clothing is to make rag rugs out of your worn-out clothes. Traditionally cloth strips are used as the weft, or cross-wise filler, in the rug, and a strong cotton yarn is used as the warp or length-wise thread.
If you have a few old bedsheets around, this is the perfect way to use them (and get an adorable rug out of the process).

I've been fascinated with locker hooking since Vicki posted about her project some time ago. It's a craft where you take strips of fabric, "hook" them through a mesh canvas, and then "lock" them down by running a cotton string through the loops. There's not a lot on information on locker hooking on the web, but this site, which sells supplies, including patterns, also has a very useful tutorial that can get you started. You use up a lot of strips of fabric in this craft. I of course have lots of fabric, and some of it is even already in strips, but instead, I'm using up old cotton curtains, sheets and pillowcases that are worn thin, faded, or even holey. It's easy to cut the 1" strips with a rotary cutter and ruler. I ordered my canvas and needle from an eBay vendor. It was a big canvas, so I cut it in half for my first rug. I like the way these random colors work together. For my next rug I will probably use the pre-printed grid to do a checkerboard or other similar pattern. A lot of simple quilt patterns could easily be used to make patterns. Other items one could make with this craft include place mats, table runners, and handbags. I find it relaxing and easy to do. Working a random pattern like this one takes little thought. I've seen starter kits with a locker hooking needle and canvas bundled with recent books on Amazon. That would be another way to get started. You probably have plenty of fabric strips itching to be rugs too.
I love blending colors by using multiple strands of thinner yarn in a weft bundle. Instead of having only a few colors, the palette opens up to a broader spectrum of possibilities. The French tapestry tradition has been using this approach to color blending for over 900 years. In the Gothic era, typ
Med samma flät-teknik som vi använde för vår matta Kasuri (Re Rag Rug II) utvecklade vi Spice. Materialet är också detsamma, dvs överskottsmaterial från t-shirtindustrin i södra Indien, och de här mattorna finns nu i produktion av Jothi och Chitra. De har måtten 85x250 cm och en flätad frans i varje ände. De tre färgställningarna kallar vi Indigo/Chili, Chili/Saffron och Salt/Pepper
I have had a lot of requests for the pattern for the 'scrappy kitchen mat' Well... I can't really call it a pattern, as such... but here's the low down on how I made it. It's super simple, and suitable for beginner crocheters. From what I can tell, this is a grey carpet nylon. Unfortunately I can't be more specific than that. This batch was given to me by one of my crochet buddies. I have no idea where you would buy it from. If you don't have access to carpet nylon... then think outside the square for alternatives. Before I acquired the nylon, I was planning to use some jute or sisal instead. Macrame cord would work well. Or even some old denim jeans, cut into thin strips. The other yarn used was crazy yarn. Click here to read more about how to make your own. I used a 5.0mm hook, and worked with the carpet nylon and the crazy yarn held together. I made a length of chain 60cm long. Then I worked back and forth in rows of sc (US) until the piece was 105cm long. If you have trouble keeping your edges straight... take a look at this tutorial As I worked, I just made sure that all of the joins/knots in the yarn fell to the back of my work. I DID NOT WEAVE IN ANY ENDS IN THIS PROJECT. I added a row of tassels along each end of the rug... using one strand of nylon and three strands of crazy yarn for each tassel. Then I cut a piece of non slip mat to size, and attached it to the underside of the mat. I sewed it on using four strand of sewing cotton for extra strength. And here is my finished mat. You could make yours in any size. Just cast on as many chain as you need for the width of the mat... then work in sc for as long as you need.

De badkamer is onderhanden... Da's geen nieuws & daarover later meer. Echt ;) Hiervoor wil ik zelf een badmat weven. Van oude jeans. Een idee dat ik al jaren in mijn hoofd heb. Ooit gezien tijdens een vakantie & ooit ook begonnen *zucht* Destijds het werk in een hoek gegooid omdat de zijkanten scheef trokken. Ben ik niet zo van het proefdraaien. Meteen voor het echie. Of eggie? Gezien de ervaring van de vorige keer toch maar een proefmoment ingelast. Met plezier heb ik gebruik gemaakt van alle kennis die gedeeld wordt op internet. Op de site www.handwerkles.nl heb ik de kunst afgekeken. En dan is het proeflapje af. Wat doe je daar mee? Zit toch echt te veel werk in om die ook maar in die hoek te gooien. Daarbij vind ik het resultaat te leuk! De naaimachine stond afgelopen weekend op tafel dus dacht waarom niet proberen of dit aan elkaar te naaien is. Het resultaat na één gebroken naald & een keer uithalen een soort mandje. Past precies op het muurtje (planchet) van de badkamer. Zo blij met het resultaat dat tie het label G'Woon heeft gekregen :) Of er meerderen volgen? Inmiddels staan er wel weer scheringdraden op het weefrek. Van het proefrek dus... Don't worry, die badmat komt er ook hoor! Toch, naast de Jeans Kussens van G'Woon is dit wel een leuke aanvulling. Who knows! ~XG~
A guide to making an Amish Knot Rag Rug, plus a yardage chart to give you an idea of how much fabric you'll need to make one.
Obviously I couldn't wait to try the technique myself... so here's how to weave pibiones (the word, in Sardinian dialect, means grape) Warp and weft are the same, while the extra weft is thicker. I think I like best the monochrome version, where the design resulting from the contrast between plain weave and the little grapes is not so obvious. The diameter of the stick goes according to the thickness of the weft - just like knitting. Normally the stick is made of metal, but at that moment I only had a wooden needle available! Step 1 :: according to your design, count the warp threads and wrap the extra weft on the stick. This is a bit tricky, as the tension of the extra weft on the stick has to be even in order to get pibiones of the same size, but it only takes a bit of practice. Step 2 :: once you finish a row, secure it with a pick of plain weave (here traditionally there would be 3 picks of plain weave between one row and the other). Leave the needle in place. Step 3 :: remove the needle and get ready for another row, following your design!
