The Shakers, a religious community recognized for their distinctive designs in furniture and high quality of craftsmanship, started weaving rag rugs in the 1840’s.
We've woven rag rugs, but we're always searching for the next fun challenge. In this fun approach to weaving a rag rug we will utilize a wide range of striped fabrics to create effects that zig and zag or roll like waves.
Lets weave a Rag Rug that has two totally different sides. We'll prepare and warp your loom with a dark colored warp, you bring two contrasting cotton fabrics for two days of fun!
