Twined Rag Rugs: Tradition in the Making | Bobbie Irwin
11 posts | 1 read
Twined rag rugs are currently undergoing a world-wide revival due to the thousands of people who are rediscovering the traditional handwork of their ancestors. Crafters of all ages and skill levels can enjoy this inexpensive, simple techniques; young children learn it easily and the elderly benefit from increased manual dexterity as well as the rhythmic relaxation of the twining. And the result is an incredibly durable heirloom that can be passed through generations. This book introduces numerous pattern and equipment options with step-by-step diagrams and photographs for nine samplers. Also included are complete instructions for building basic equipment, ten rug projects, and tips for designing heirloom rugs.

Princess-Kingofkings @SW-T thank you - between watching a history DVD about warrior horses and 3 episodes of Outlander, I was able to complete a lot. Of course, my back and legs now ache. 4y

Texreader How are you selling it? Do you have a shop on Etsy? 4y
Princess-Kingofkings @Texreader I will list it on Facebook Marketplace today. They usually sell with a few days so I haven't built up an inventory for Etsy. 4y

my latest creation ~ a girlfriend contacted me last week to say she wanted to buy it for her Secret Santa gift at work as her co-worker had requested a made in Michigan item. I'm blessed to have made another rug and sold it before I even finished.

Deifio Very cool! The rug is very pretty and you having sold it already is awesome! 4y
