Twined Rag Rugs
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this book because there was a display at the local yarn shop with a loom and the beautiful rugs they were making there. My husband made the loom for me but there was no information at the library or even on the internet on how to make twined rag rugs. I did however find this book on the internet to "fill in the gaps" of the knowledge I had picked up at the yarn shop. I looked on ebay and was pleasantly surprised to find a copy up for auction. The book has an excellent history of the craft in the U.S. and has diagrams and instructions that were very helpful. There is a section that interviews people that are carrying on this relatively little known craft. Many interesting color pictures of finished rugs are included. Very interesting!
