Rag Rug Handwoven Sage Green 23"x49" order

This rug is made from a bedsheet that is being repurposed. II cut the fabric into strips. Each strip has been sewn (by sewing machine) diagonally together to prevent "lumps" where the strips are joined. The weft of the rug is 100% cotton thread in black, gray and white colors. Measurements are the actual rug without the fringe. (With fringe measurements are 23" Wide x 52"Long). My loom is a homemade Sievers 4 harness loom made of maple wood.

Rug is machine washable on gentle cycle, using cold water. Hang to dry. If one side becomes dirty, it can always be flipped over and used on the other side before washing.

I have been weaving for several years. order The local school listed the loom and all the weaving equipment on Facebook as a sealed bid auction. I was the only bidder. Thankfully, it came threaded and I've been able to figure things out. I had always wanted a floor loom since I had heard stories and seen rugs that my great-grandmother had wove. My Dad remembers weaving with his Grandma and has been able to pass on some tips I didn't pickup from reading or online.
