I would love to make several rugs and give them away or sell them.

She did not use sweaters--she used wool fabric--old wool coats, skirts, etc cut into 2inch strips if I remember correctly and then pieced together on the bias like you would binding--she would make 2 inch rolls kind of like jelly rolls and when she had a good bit stocked she would begin the rug. she told me she always liked to put a little red in them-- She would fol the strips"inside" like double fold bias tape is folded as she braided. when I was about 10 I remember her showing me how but not sure I remember exactly how she started.. cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879652388005782696noreply@blogger.com
