Tiny vivid green shoots struggle toward the sun with the promise of spring in their slender stems. This posh green rug brings all of spring's promise to your feet.
Hit or Miss is a very traditional technique method of recycling the smallest of leftover pieces of fabric. Because of this it is very labor intensive. I usually fillet 50 or 60 shirts to get a nice big batch of colors. Those are then cut into strips. I hate waste so some of the pieces are as short as four inches. This means I am able to do only one or two hit or miss batches per year. I love the festival of colors and the honoring of traditional techniques.
Warp is done in stripes of Mossy Deep Green alternating with Natural, Black and Sage
It is a polyester warp
The size of this rug is 23.5" x 47"
Length of rug does not include the length of hand knotted fringe
My greatest joy in weaving comes in color exploration. Weaving rag rugs allows me to combine colors in ways that I might not have thought of if the "rags" were not in front of me, daring me to put them together.
All my rugs are woven on a large vintage "Weaver's Delight" rug loom built in 1942. The whole house shakes when I am weaving. The designs are my own and I have won several awards for my work. I use all recycled materials in my wefts and either cotton or polyester warp. My rugs are machine washable in warm or cool. It is best to line dry. Give the fringe a good shake to straighten it and hang over a clothesline or rail. With a bit of care this rug will last a good many years.
Shipping is included on this rug when sent within the contiguous United States. I am happy retailer to ship elsewhere. Please contact me before purchase so that I may provide you with an accurate rate.
