Favourite Rag Rugs
Author: Tina Ignell
Favourite Rag Rugs gives detailed weave directions for 45 rugs, from the classic stripe to pattern woven rag rugs in rosepath and half draill. With its beautiful and clear illustrations, this is a book that presents an inspiring look into a world of colour and design.
There are six sections, each presenting rugs in various techniques. Starting with stripe and check with rugs in simple tabby, progressing to chenille, rag inlay, repp, rosepath, diamond twill and draill—even the names are intriguing.
Weaving rag rugs is creative work. Simple methods, yet each rug is unique. Different wefts on the same warp mean you can vary weaves your way. On one and the same rosepath threading you can make three totally different rag rugs and the 'Five rugs on one warp' section shows what happens when wefts like rags, rushes and thick paper yarn are used. Some twenty weavers wove and designed the rugs for this book. Their imagination and professional skill have made Favourite Rag Rugs into a fantastic source of ideas.
