[Nfb-krafters-korner] rag rugs

[Ramona Walhof]

Marianne,  I used rags sewed in long strips just like yarn  and wove rag 
rugs in high school on looms. You can braid them and sew the braids in 
circles.  You can also chrochet the stripsof rags if you prefer.  Something 
depends on the quality and consistent size of the rags.  If you have lots of 
rags, the rugs can be nice.  You can sort the rags in colors or groups of 
colors or just play pot luck.  Have fun!
