Rag Rugs: 15 Step-by-step Projects for Hand-crafted Rugs

by JujuVail (Author)

Synopsis

Bringing the traditional craft of rag rugs into the 21st century, this guide presents an array of modern ideas, while acknowledging the craft's roots. Projects range from a simple one-colour design, to abstract patterns and vibrant folk art, using the techniques of hooking, prodding, clipping and braiding. Every project covers a different aspect of rug-making, whether it be combining techniques, thinking about use of colour or learning to transfer a pictorial design onto hessian. The projects are explained with clear, step-by-step instructions, helpful illustrations, colour diagrams and photographs.
