Synopsis

Tom Knisely returns to rag rugs with 30 fresh projects designed for weaving with repurposed textiles, turning scrap fabric and old household linens into hard-wearing floor mats. A wide range of materials is explored, including T-shirts, jeans, quilts, linens and towels, with guidance on choosing and preparing each type for the loom.

Alongside the finished rugs, each project sets out the materials used and suggests options for creating a similar result with what you already have or can source elsewhere. The book also covers rug-weaving basics and offers practical advice on setting up a loom for working with rags that are much thicker than standard weaving thread. Suitable for weavers looking for adaptable rag-rug designs and technique-led instruction.
