Rag Rug





Another project started. This will be a rug for my DS and DDIL--a promise for Christmas. I've included a couple of pics and will post progress pics. It's called Twined Rug and will be about 2'x3' when complete...........and it will probably last forever!
The middle pic shows the frame strung with the warp fabric. It doesn't matter the color as the warp is hidden when the rug is finished. The bottom pic shows the first row complete and probably doesn't make much sense, but it will later on.
I'm not using a color scheme--it will just look "scrappy." It's much cheaper that way. A rug this size takes about 15 yards of fabric. I buy it in a pre-cut kit which saves a LOT of time and effort! These rugs are definitely a labor of love!
