Weaving Fields of Sunflowers Rag Rug

In this video I weave my 2nd Rag Rug, which I've named "Field of Sunflowers". This is threaded on 8 shafts in a straight draw and woven in a twill draft. I used Brockens 12/6 Cotton Rug Warp for the warp and hem headers, 3/8" wide fabric strips for the hem allowance and 3/4" wide fabric strips for the main body of the rug. The warp was set at 8 end per inch with a weaving width of 27". The finished rug, after hemming, measures 23 1/2" x 36".

Thanks Grace. I think it is always so interesting how the fabric will look once woven in a rag rug.

Thanks for sharing your techniques. Looks very doable 😊

You’re welcome 😊. Rag rugs are very easy to make but you do need a heavy duty loom to take the high tension required. Thanks for watching.

Really like the fabric you chose. I want to try making a rag run this year. Thanks 👍 😊

I loved this fabric before I cut it up for the rug but it was very busy and bold. It was perfect for use in a rug. A friend commented "Nobody else will know it was sunflowers but you'll always know. It's like a magical fairy secret!" Rag rugs are very easy to make but you do need a heavy duty loom to take the high tension required. Thanks for watching.
