Rag rugs

Do you go for an unusual look of your home? Than rag rugs are meant for you.
Rag rugs came to us from the colder regions of Britain and they were brought there by the vikings. Here’s how rag rugs are made. The making of rag rugs requires hours upon hours of work. The work itself is not very difficult.

Special hooks are used to pull strips of fabric through the hessian cloth. This cloth is the basis and the backing of the rag rugs. The materials used for making rag rugs are cheap and available in all the regions of just about any country. The hessian cloth for rag rugs is sold worldwide and the fabric comes from second-hand clothing.

For better rag rugs select clothing with at least eighty per cent of wool.
Rag rugs have survived so many centuries because they can be made by anyone with enough patience and elementary skill. They are also warm and possess all the fundamental advantages of wool (rag rugs are most often made of wool).

Having rag rugs in your home is pretty tempting. Hand-made rag rugs look perfect on many kinds of floor and you can even make them yourself. Rag rugs are the basics of original European, not Oriental, rugs weaving. And with Oriental rugs so widely advertized, it feels great to be different.
