Publisher's Note
Weaving rag rugs is an old technique that arose out of necessity centuries ago. This book brings rag rugs out of old country cabins and places them beside the best of contemporary crafts and decor. The book explores the fascinating history of rag weaving, then explains step by step how to weave a basic rag rug. Filled with scores of color photos of rugs from around the world, the book is a delight for weavers and nonweavers alike. 260 color and 30 b&w photos.

Industry Reviews
The humble rag rug has long been a mainstay of country crafters. Made of a weft of recycled clothing or other rags hand-woven through a thread warp, these rugs are washable and generally utilitarian. Designs are often simple stripes or "hit and miss," using the colors as they occur in the rags. Contemporary artists now weave rag rugs in patterns using a technique similar to tapestry. Allen presents all the basics of equipment, weaving, and designing through line drawings interspersed with color photographs of finished rugs by other artists. Step-by-step instructions are given for 12 rug projects. This is an excellent new look at an old favorite. For public libraries.
