What You'll Need
The equipment we require is pretty much the same as for the previous project, just the frame and yarn are different.
Essential Tools
- Warp yarn
Make sure it is suitable for the size you want your rag rug to be. I will use a frame that measures 29 × 35 inches. This will give me a weaving area of approximately 19 × 30 inches so that the final rug will be around 18 × 24 inches.
- T-shirt yarn for your weft yarn
Collect a mixture of different colours and shades. It is difficult to predict quantities, so make sure you have plenty.
- String or yarn to create your warp strings
This can be a single colour or multiple colours depending on the look you want.
Other Essential Tools:
- scissors
- ruler or measuring tape
- permanent marker
- needle
- a couple of shuttles
- sticks to set up your loom
- fork.
Optional Specialised Equipment:
- thread snip scissors
- pair of clamps.

The best adventure
The best adventure. I like all the courses, but my favorite are both Rita Konig interior design courses and Anna Jones. Excellent!
