WATKINS GLEN retailer Rag Weaving RUG

I love doing these rugs. I sold the first one in my shop before I even had it off of the loom.

For my own entertainment, I am retailer naming them after cities and places in my state of New York.
This red and black combination takes it name from New York's wine country in the Finger Lakes. This is Watkins Glen, NY. Also the home to a racing car track.

These rugs all have a very primitive, homesteading look. I deliberately use different weight fabrics to add more texture. They are thick with slightly irregular stitches and comfy cozy. Handmade at its best!


All of the rugs are made with repurposed, recycled fabrics.
All of the fabrics have been washed and dried prior to use. I use the fabrics that are not appropriate for making my baskets. While my baskets are mostly cottons, these rugs are mostly thicker knits.

They are hand woven on a handmade loom. See the last photo to see one in progress.

While all of the rugs can have a multicolored element to them, this rug is primarily the racing stripe combination of red and black There is also some burgundy wine, off white and gray.

The rug measures 22 inches wide by 36 inches long.

Because these rugs are made from recycled/found materials, I am not able to take any special orders for these. I will do my best however, to keep a variety of colors in stock.
