I have started naming all of my rag weaving after places in my state of New York.
So, here is Springville, a little hamlet in the Western corner.

Like most of the rag weaving, this mat has a multicolored feel to it, but its colors are mainly springtime pastels.


These rag weaving mats are made from fabrics that are not generally suitable for my baskets. The fabrics are either too fat, too stretchy or too apt to fray. I often use vintage doubleknits.
This creates a thick mat with a rough, very primitive look.
They are created on a handmade loom.



I am selling these mats individually, rather than in sets. I am not a very "matchy-matchy" person so I wanted to give buyers the option to create their own "sets" or buy just one as a focal centerpiece. Sometimes I do make more than one with the same colors and fabrics and this will be indicated in the quantity available. Keep in mind however, that each one is individually hand made and that no two will ever be EXACTLY the same.

To see what other options are currently available,
Just search for "mats" or "rag weaving" in my shop.


Each mat measures 18 inches long by 12 inches wide.

I have pre-washed and machine dried the fabric prior to weaving....so they are safe to launder. Although, I might recommend that you treat it gently..cool water...finish air drying it flat..
It will wear longer if washed by hand.


These table rugs or place mats are made in the same manner as my larger rag rugs, only on a smaller loom. Strips of fabric ( mostly recycled) are hand woven on a handmade loom. The last photo shows one in progress.
