Product Description:

This is a twist on the traditional style rag rug. Also known as shag rugs, or clip rugs, traditional rag rugs are made by piercing holes in hessian sacks, poking rags through these holes and tying them. A second look at this rug and you will see it is different! The base has been crocheted with strong jute twine from a sustainable source. This not only allows for a much more interesting and decorative edging than is found on other rag rugs, but also gives it a harder wearing, longer lasting base. The rags (or 'clips') that make the shag pile are from upcycled clothing, including t-shirts and a colourful sarong. Many of these items of clothing were Fair Trade. The rags have been secured using a latch hook.

The rug is approximately 32 inches diameter giving a surface area of just over 800 inches square (81cm diameter/5153 square cm).

This is a very unusual rag rug and it is unlikely you will find anything similar anywhere else.
