Description
Master RAG-RUGGING in no time with this INSPIRING GUIDE to UPCYCLING offcuts and preloved fabric into modern, stylish RUGS and HOMEWARES.

Includes advice on all the tools and techniques you'll need, plus 30 PROJECTS to make.

Craft and rag-rugging expert Elspeth Jackson details eight different methods that will help you learn the art of rugs from rags: shaggy, loopy, coiled rope, peg loom weaving, locker hooking, two-string loom, stitched, and twining.

Elspeth shows you the skills, tools, and equipment you'll need for each technique, as well as providing advice on choices of fabrics and design.

Each chapter includes clear step-by-step instructions for a traditional rug as well as other projects, such as placemats, bowls, wall hangings, and more, with designs inspired by rag rug styles from around the world--Moroccan to Swedish, Brazilian to North American.
