Rag Rugs are my favorite thing to make with scrap fabric and old sheets! I have made countless rugs using a homemade loom, and now I have made tons of rugs using a heddle loom. I will show you the differences and variables that will change the look of your rug!

Seeing how each of the rugs look on the different looms helps me visualize which route I want to take, thank you!

Glad it was helpful!!

Perfect timing! Just unpacking in a new sewing/craft room and came across my boxes of rug fabrics. Thank you! -Addie

Yay!!! Love that!

from Gerry- I have made your rag rugs and love them. I also have a rigid heddle loom and have made a rug with it. I would suggest 2 strands of carpet warp in the weft for a studier warp and yes, pushing down the rows is so important. I have a # 5 dent reed and perhaps that would allow a one inch fabric warp to pass through the holes and slots. I haven't tried that yet. Keep up the good work and God bless.

Wow - I never thought of a different dent to do fabric through!! I love experimenting with all of the variables! Great suggestion on 2 strands - I will do that next! Thanks so much for helping me out!!

I've done a rug like you do a potholder . On the frame I made from your husband's instructions.. easy peasy

@DIYOnTheHouse Месяц назад

They are so fun to make!!

I've made quite a few twined rugs and love the way they turn out. One of the pluses is that they are extremely durable with the fabric warp. . Some of my rugs have the ends woven back in and others let the fabric warp ends become a type of fringe. My husband made my loom of 1x2s that are fastened together with bolts and wing nuts. It is adjustable to almost any size rug. Thank you for the video. I was interested in seeing that you cross over two warp strands instead of one

@DIYOnTheHouse Месяц назад

I love the adjustable loom - that is HUGE - I may need to have Ross do that. Yes, I go over two warps, it seems to work well!

I appreciate your inquisitive personality. I will not list the cons on the heddle, however, were I younger, I might have considered working with one. When I consider how easy it is for me to warp the rag rug homemade loom, the portability, the ease in teaching others .... no contest. This was a very informative and fun video - - as usual!

@DIYOnTheHouse Месяц назад

You are so sweet! I totally agree, warping the homemade loom is SOOOO easy. I am so intrigued by the contrast of the look of the rugs between the looms!

@maryseaman312 Месяц назад

@@DIYOnTheHouse I think I understand ... I grew up with rugs made on a heddle loom ... had I actually been allowed to be exposed to how it was done, I probably would be absolutely sold on the process. However, that has to do with my obsessive personality - - I can "worry" something for a long time and be perfectly happy! ... As I got older, I became more selective about my attention ... perhaps, even a bit more practical ... the idea of using scrap pieces of fabric suits my attraction to practical and colors ... Most people are never exposed to the opportunities we have been exposed to. It is truly a blessing to be able to look at something and create something out of one man's trash ... another person's treasure ... It took me a long time to comprehend that God created us to create (in His image) ... the world be indeed be quite stark without our individuality and desire to create, I think.

I have 3 handmade looms that I make rugs on...I am obsessed with making rugs! I have a rigid heddle loom that I also have made rugs on, but I really like the homemade looms better. I have also made a round Amish knot rug, which I have to say is my favorite technique for rag rugs but the larger they are, the harder they are to make...and the type of fabric is more cruicial, one strechier fabric can ruin your entire project. I just bought a floor loom but apparently no rug making on it...but hey, what I cannot accomplish on the loom, I can accomplish with a rug TOP and then sewing on a thicker backing...quilted rugs? Sure, why KNOT? :)

You sound like a sister that I never had!! I love you and have never even met you! I just took a heddle class over the weekend and learned new tricks. So much fun stuff to learn!!

Rewatching this video and wondering about your peg loom rugs. I love the thickness of your twined rug. How would the thickness of a peg loom rug compare? Can the peg loom be warped with fabric strips? Thanks 😊 -Addie

@DIYOnTheHouse Месяц назад

I don't think my peg loom would do fabric - maybe if I had Ross cut slits instead of holes - if we did holes, the diameter would need to be quite large and it would cause other issues. I will have to ask him how someone would make a slit in a dowel??
