About this Product
This hand woven rag rug was made with new earthtones cotton fabrics. It is woven with a strong durable black cotton warp. New fabric was selvedge from manufacturing waste headed to the landfill.
Handwoven rugs are lovingly made one at a time on my Newcomb #3 loom in Minnesota. No two are exactly the same. All rugs are unique in design and bring that personal touch to your home.
This rug makes the perfect gift for any teen entering college, family members, or friend. Add some extra warmth to your home. A great accent for any room in your home!
The rug is 14 inches wide by 19 inches long not including the hand knotted fringe. This rug is reversable so can get extra wear before washing.
This hand woven rug will last a lifetime if properly cared for.
All knit material and cotton warp allows you to wash on delicate cycle in cold water and lay flat to dry. Will continue to look better with age.
Prairie Looms
Meet the Maker
Hello, my name is Lisa. I reside on the prairies of southwest Minnesota and am the designer/creator for Prairie Looms. I am married with 5 fabulous children and 1 beautiful granddaughter.
I began weaving in 2000 on a Newcomb #3 loom at my son's school. Eventually the school decided to discontinue the weaving fundraiser. In 2013, we moved the Newcomb #3 into our bonus room at home and then began my odyssey in weaving. In 2017, I added 2 Leesburg looms with creel racks to my collection. I also have a LeClerc Nilus and a pair of lap looms that I am learning to use.
I enjoy handcrafting rag rugs on my floor looms. Rugs are made with fabrics sourced from mill ends, manufacturing waste fabrics, donated blue jeans and any fabrics I find in the clearance section at the store. A sustainable choice in home decor. I then mix and match the colors for traditional cotton rag rugs, mixed fabric rugs and the popular shaggy upholstery fabric selvedges.
I enjoy working with the colors and experimenting with the color wheel. Sometimes the look is amazing, on occasion not so much. I have also begun experimenting with strip length and weaving width in an attempt to produce unique designs in the weaving. I also on occasion work with unique fabrics like neckties, sari silk scraps and chenille bedspreads.
All rugs are unique in design and no two are exactly the same. They add beauty and charm to any room in your home. Add a pop of color and enhance your favorite corner, kitchen, camper or any spot needing extra character.
How it’s Made
Fabrics are upcycled clothing mixed and matched in a random pattern.
The rugs are hand woven on my Leesburg loom with new cotton warp for maximum longevity.
I use a tight tension so the fabric is packed tightly. Ends are folded in for a neat edge. It is a little extra work, but the end product is a durable rug that will last years. An investment piece for your special spot.
