Spool Knitting - How to Make a Spool Knitted Rug

[@candacebreaux5301]

Thanks for this. I made a icord with cotton yarn with the intent of making a hot pad for my counter top then couldn't figure out the best way to put it together. This will be perfect :)

[@Needlepointers]

Wonderful! I am so glad the video was helpful.

[@Silverdale15]

Wow...I'm just starting this with my Nancy it brings back childhood memories lol. ..this is vvv useful thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@Needlepointers]

[@user-ub3xh1kb8v]

Have been french knitting for some months now in between my usual knitting projects! Love your idea with spool knitting and I've made a multi coloured one in cotton for our new house so thanks slot for the precise easy instructions!❤

[@Needlepointers]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

[@CrayolaCrack]

Making a rug with my spool loom and couldn't figure out how to sew it together to shape the rug. Thank you!

[@Needlepointers]

You're welcome.

[@catmorrsbuddy]

Well done video. Simple, concise, too the point and easy to understand. Thank you!

[@aimeejones1925]

This is awesome! I’ve been spool knitting a cord off and on for awhile now and had no idea what to do with the thing now that it is just over six feet long. It’s the perfect colour for my room too! Thanks for the idea!

[@wassup1782]

I loved this idea! I actually used the technique to make a scarf for my baby sister, so thank you so much!

[@Needlepointers]

You are so welcome!

[@jeanetteduurvoort7298]

After watching soooo many videos of rug making, I was ready to give up. Told myself I was cheap and stupid...pay the money, buy a rug and get over it. Sorry, not very pithy, I am complicated person;( Your video so inspired me...I am DOING THIS. Thanx for the clear, easy instruction. Made my day.

[@Needlepointers]

Yeah, Jeanette! You can do it!

[@marilynkornelsen5734]

I'm just finishing off my second rug, THANKS AGAIN for showing and sharing your videos ❤ 😊

[@Needlepointers]

You are welcome! I"m glad you enjoy them!

[@Suz_408]

Very cool!

[@mgm2008]

Very glad to see how you make this type of rug! Thank you for demonstrating!

[@Lilbj48]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I had a great big “rope”; but couldn’t figure out how to make something of it! I am now making myself a rug! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Will be watching your other videos too!

[@Needlepointers]

You are so welcome!

[@ChemicalConcoctionsSoapLab]

That is so cool. I have a couple of spool knitters, but I wasn't sure of what to do with any of it. I would love more spool knitter projects, please.

[@Needlepointers]

[@jennyway8507]

What a lovely idea thank-you so much for sharing.

[@lindafraser4169]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I like using the spool but as wondering what to do with the finished yarn. Thanks for this great idea!!

[@jilliansmith7123]

thanks for this. Clever way to get the original long knitted tube thicker. I, too, use the sugar N cream cotton yarn, variegated. I use one round ball for each length and then brain three full-ball lengths together; then circle or oval them and stitch by hand. They make great yard "doilies" for under vases and things on tabletops. I don't actually think they'd make very good rugs. I came here to watch the whole playlist as I need some ideas of what else to make with the spool knitting process.

[@goldenhorshoe4814]

Well done video. I am working on trying to make my first area rug and I’m so happy I seen your video I feel much more confident that I’ll be able to complete my project the way I want it to be.

I’m going to do this. I used to do spool knitting when I was a kid but never finished anything.

[@Needlepointers]

As a kid, I also did spool knitting but never knew what to make with it. Since you liked this idea, you may be interested in this page dedicated to free spool knitting projects: www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=2201

[@mariearsenault197]

Thank you for this video on making a French Knitting Rug. I plan on making one in the near future. I’m just wondering what type of yarn you use for making a rug.

[@helenpatchett5810]

Brilliant video, thank you. How do you finish off the rug? Or join 2 different colours? Thank you

[@Needlepointers]

Thank you for watching our video on making a spool knitted rug. It is possible to have another color. You would add the color when spool knitting. Attach the new color to the working yarn on the spool knitter with a knot. Keep spool knitting the working yarn in the first color until you reach the knot, and then keep spool knitting once you get to the new color yarn - as you go, make sure that the two loose ends of yarn are buried in the middle of your spool knitting tool as you knit. To finish it, bind off the cord from the spool knitter. Continue finger braiding until you only have a short piece left. Insert this short piece into the last loop. It ended, then just sew the end down.

It would've been nice to see the FINAL rug. I have that yarn, but didn't make the rug because of how much dirt it would show.

[@Needlepointers]

[@citygonecountrygirl]

Could you tell me the thickness of yarn that you used?

[@abbeyp8834]

Thx!🎉❤ Can it be made with an i-cord machine?

[@Needlepointers]

Hi. Thank you for watching our video on making a spool knitted rug. I really don't know if it can be made with an i-cord machine because I have never used one.

[@jamessumner944]

thank you for sharing, great project for when your watching tv! How big are you making your rug?

[@Needlepointers]

Thank you for watching the spool knitting video on making a spool knitted rug. My plan is for the rug to be about 18" x 14".

[@bugbaker503]

can you please show the cast off or how you end the rug?

[@Needlepointers]

Thank you for watching our video. To finish it, bind off the cord from the spool knitter. Continue finger braiding until you only have a short piece left. Insert this short piece into the last loop. It's ended, then just sew the end down.

Glad you loved our video. Thanks for watching it.

[@p.stevens4383]

How long is the cord braided. How many yards of yarn and how long is a finished rung.

[@Needlepointers]

Hello. I did not measure the cording so I cannot tell you how long it was or how much yarn I used.

[@paulaharrisonharrison1215]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Needlepointers]

Glad you like this video. It was a fun project to make.

[@dianeherrmann6370]

How long was your I cord for your rug? How many yards?

[@Needlepointers]

Hi Diane, Sorry, I did not measure how many yards of spool knitted cord that was used because I knitted and made the rug as I went along. You need many yards to make a rug.

[@diamondlightrainbow]

How do you finish the last loop to finish the carpet?

[@Needlepointers]

Thank you for contacting us with your question. When the rug is the size wanted, cast off the yarn from the spool knitter, place the tail of the cord into the last chain's loop and pull tight to secure. Tuck this tail under the rug and stitch it into place and the rug is done.

[@annhulett2392]

Love this video. Would it be possible to show how the end was finished? My ending looks too obvious. Thank you.

[@Needlepointers]

Ann, we have another video which shows the rug finished. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYnShIOcbbZ2q80. And here is a page and near the end is a photo of the finished rug. www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=68. Hope this helps!

[@Needlepointers]

No I used a cotton yarn.

[@GloriaL28]

@@Needlepointers sorry didn't make myself clear was it a dk cotton or aran weight I have used both to knit garments thanks

[@Needlepointers]

I used Lily Sugar 'n Cream worsted 4-ply cotton. I purchased it at Joann's.

[@abbeyp8834]

What size is yarn?

[@Needlepointers]

Hi. Thank you for watching our video. To make my rug, I used Lily Sugar 'n Cream Cotton Worsted yarn. This yarn comes in a variety of colors. Any brand of yarn can be used, but I recommend cotton.
