Rags to Rugs

30 New Weaving Designs for Repurposed Fabrics

Tom Knisely

Description

In Rags to Rugs, Tom Knisely explores the weaving possibilities of a variety of fabrics, from T-shirts and jeans to quilts, linens, towels and more. He shows you the techniques he uses to get the most from each piece and gives advice on how best to set up your loom for weaving with rags much thicker than your typical weaving thread.

Ready to get started? First, look at the author's 30 beautiful rugs and read through each project for the wealth of information he's included on the materials used and options you might try to create a similar rug. He shares exactly what he chose for each project, but the drafts are adaptable to what you have on hand or can source from friends, family and thrift stores.

Once you've gathered and prepared your materials, refer to the section on rug weaving basics for a refresher if needed and some very helpful tips, and you are on your way!
