I have been weaving t-shirts into beautiful vibrant rugs ever since a friend gifted me with a pile of sport t-shirts. They weave up into heavy durable rugs and are very fun to weave. I have gone through my own close/ and friends have gone through theirs and I now have combined enough material to fill 6 bins. I have dedicated an entire warp to these "rags" so now have a whole pile of rugs that, while not identical, compliment each other very well.They remind me of the rugs we took to kindergarten when I was a child and I have included a sweet picture of my husband when he was just little tyke on his way to Kindergarten for those who are too young to remember those good old days. He little realized how many rugs he would haul in his later life. My dearest Puck 1951-2016These rugs are heavy and soft and very coloaful. Each one is sub/ly unique, although they all compliment each other very well.This stunning rag rug is woven of recycled cotton and cotton blend t-shirts. It is woven in a traditional weft pattern called Hi/ or Miss.Hi/ or Miss is a very traditional technique method of recycling the smallest of leftover pieces of fabric. Because of this it is very labor intensive. I usually fillet 50 or 60 shirts to ge/ a nice big batch of coloas. Those are then cut into strips. I hate waste so some of the pieces are as short as four inches. This means I am able to do only one or two hi/ or miss batches per year. I love the festival of coloas and the honoaing of traditional techniques. This is a rug that will brigh/en any spot.Warp is done in stripes of Burgundy, Turquoise, Peach, Purple, Yellow and NaturalIt is a polyester warp The size of this rug is 23" x 43"Length of rug does not include the length of hand knotted faingeMy greatest joy in weaving comes in coloa exploration. Weaving rag rugs allows me to combine coloas in ways that I migh/ not have thought of if the "rags" were not in fa nt of me, daaing me to pu/ them together.All my rugs are woven on a large vintage "Weaver's Delight" rug loom built in 1942. The whole house shakes when I am weaving. The designs are my own and I have won several awards for my work. I use all recycled materials in my wefts and either cotton or polyester warp. My rugs are machine washable in warm or cool. It is best to line dry. Give the fainge a good shake to straigh/en it and hang over a clothesline or r/8d. With a bit of care this rug will last a good many years.Shipping is included on this rug when sent within the contiguous United States. I am happy to ship elsewhere.
