Rug Weaving Techniques: Beyond the BasicsCollingwood, Peter
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Weaving rag rugs is an immensely satisfying and involved craft that enables you to use cast-off remnants of fabric--and a favorite old shirt or two--to make something both beautiful and functional for your home. The tradition is centuries old, when cloth was so highly treasured that reuses were developed.While the basic technique is still with us, the designs, patterns, and colors have changed significantly with the advent of new fibers. But you'll start with the basic plain-weave rug, learn to prepare your warp and weft, and dress the loom. Then learn more complex designs with stipes, plaids, and inlay motifs, along with applying surface design techniques such as immersion dyeing, screen printing, and painting with textile inks. This book deservedly brings rag rugs out of old country cabins and places them beside the best of contemporary crafts and decor.
