Handmade Twined Rag Rug CUSTOM COLORS Woven 24 x 32

Description

A twined rug created just for you!
24" X 32"

True rag rugs, twined by me in my own home, on the loom my father made for me!

These are incredibly sturdy rugs! The red one is mine, and we have walked on it every day for three years!

I particularly like the chambray blue rug I am currently working on, but I will make you a rug in the colors of your choice! If you want to provide old shirts or dresses (cotton or cotton-rich blends only, please!), I can incorporate them in your rug, or I will provide all the fabrics myself. There is no price difference. I use new and old CLEAN woven fabric, as long as it is rug-worthy, but not all fabrics are suitable for rugs. Denim is too heavy, and knits don't work well.

Twined rugs are created by weaving two strands at a time, alternately, into a warp on a loom or frame, creating an effect of a braided rug, but it's completely woven. A braided rug is three stands, braided into one long strip which is then sewn into the desired shape. I prefer these sturdy twined rugs!

Very suitable for country or cottage decor! Your rug will take about three weeks to make, from the time payment is received.

The rugs are quite heavy, but I can fold one up to fit in a flat rate USPS Priority Mail box.

Email me at catherinetimmons [!at] hotmail.com if you have any questions about this item or my other listings. I add new things all the time, so be sure to check out my etsy shop! While you're on that page, add me to your favorite seller list!

Glory Quilts is dedicated to providing delightful classes and excellent quilts. I have been teaching workshops across the United States for twelve years, and I thought I would share some of my class samples with my etsy customers!

The discerning buyer will understand the difference between an heirloom-quality item and those mass-produced imports sold as "hand crafted" by the thousand.

Each of my items, whether a garment, accessory or quilt, is very personal. The fabrics are carefully selected and prewashed to rid them of the chemicals used in manufacturing and to complete the shrinkage.

I do all of my own sewing in my home. No one here smokes, and the animals all live outdoors.

I accept payment by paypal or money order. I expect payment within 7 days of sale. Because each of these boutique style items is unique and can not be reproduced, I recommend that you purchase shipping insurance.

Shipping within the United States is $9.00 (it's HEAVY) and includes delivery confirmation.
