Picked up a big loom at an estate sale and watched a few videos to learn. This was very well done, good camera & audio, lots of info, and kept to a nice time. I know it's 10 years old but deserves praise.
Thank you for posting this. I inherited a large rag rug from my great grandmother. The rug is a 12' woven circle and was in need of repair. Your video is by far the best and clearest on the process. Now I can repair the rug and remember my grandmother every time I am in my living room. Thank you!
You're so lucky! My great-grandmother's braided rug was the only thing I asked for when she passed away, as I had memories of playing on it as a child. Tragically, it was thrown away because... Get this... "It was dirty." 😭🤦
Keeping the old household arts alive is a beautiful ambition in life. I was raised by my grandmother who survived the Great Depression. She taught us everything needed to thrive as a poor farming family. We didn't buy from the store what we could create on our own from resources on hand.
I'm 20, and looking to make some rag rugs! My family still has a precious few that my great grandma Jenny made years and years ago, but everyone in the family has already claimed them! Thank you for the wonderful demonstration :)
One day your great grandkids will be saying ``we have rugs our great grandma Jenny made, she learned the art from something called TH-cam" haha, good luck
You probably won't see this but the next person might. I love that you're looking to make things like this! And I like their demonstration doesn't show them tearing up brand-new fabric, which is the opposite of the intent of rag rugs since the beginning. :P You don't even have to use a loom, really. They can make the process easier, but you don't need one. A couple wood bars, some braided fabric, and any thicker quilted fabric makes a real easy backstrap loom to keep tension. I've even used things like a cabinet door (open) depending on size and shape of intended finished item. You DO need lots of practice in weaving to get comfortable with tension so your weaving doesn't make the hourglass shape mentioned in the video.
Thank you, ladies, for sharing your skills and teaching us about an ancient art form. I didn't realize this was truly an ancient art! Well done for keeping this skill alive and continuing down the generations! Lovely rugs, by the way!
Excellent video. I have been researching making rag rugs and decided that I much prefer the flat look of the rugs made with a loom. This set of looms look very well made and I 've placed an order today for a set. Looking forward to making some lovely flat rag rugs with these. I really like the versatility of having 3 sizes from the 2 looms. Also, a bonus is the portability of the loom, I can take this when we travel in the spring, summer and fall! So I guess that I will have to get busy and make the strips so I can start weaving when the looms arrive. Thank you so much for this video and the inspiration that I needed.
Everyone asking about how to start, how to attach new strips and how to finish the rugs, please look up "rug twining". My grandmother made these rugs and now I'm making them. She learned as a child in the 1920's and she passed her craft to me. It's so relaxing and theraputic.
Cool! My great-granny used to buy me these kits to weave pot holders & such when I was a kid. I really enjoyed them, and she was always cookin somethin good, & always used those potholders I had made her. 😊😍
This was one of the videos that I learned to weave tag rugs from! Such good instructions! And such lovely rugs!I have found that when you do the larger rugs flipping from side to side every 4 inches or so helps with the evenness of the rug and helps if you are doing a more complex pattern the demonstrated here.
I loved doing it as a kid and I'm getting back into it at 64. Definitely would have liked to see it come off the frame and be finished in this video just to tie it all together.
This is great! I have even taken this technique a bit further by making pictorals to make Wall Hangings/ Art Weavings. So far, I've made mermaids and sailboats of varying sizes.
Thanks for these old school tips. I braided my rag rug back in the early 80's. I too used to quilt. I'm older now with health issues... So.... it's challenging now
Like the old saying goes waste not want not. What beautiful rugs that the lady makes. My mom used to braid rugs when she was alive and you talk about a work of beauty. I quilt, needlepoint and embroider and I know what the fine arts of all this work entails and I love it very much.
I remember my mother making "rag rugs" in the 50's when I was a child, but she cut and sewed the strips together, so there wasn't frayed ends. I remember having to help "turn" the strips right-side-out. She use to make wool rugs out of old coats that people no longer wanted & she'd sew the strips together from them. She never used a loom like this, but either did a braided rug, or a crocheted type rug.
of all the dozen or so rag videos this was the best one. there really is nothing to it. i'm going to have my dad make a loom like they have. this style i suspect will give newbies the best results vs using a crochet or 'toothbrush' needle (doing it that way will be harder for you to get a nice even result) also I want to do even steven rectangles. I have yet to start but I'm sure that since i'm new to this that this is the best method for me. thank you for such an amazing video!!!
To start the weave take one strip and loop it around the wire and first warp and with 2/3 of the length in one hand and 1/3 of the length in the other hand (so the connections are not in the same place). This makes your two strips and you are ready to begin weaving. To add on, use the same method as shown in the video for adding the warp strips together. Detailed instructions are available from the book Rugs from Rags available from HenScratchQuilting@hughes.net
Yes, you make the same Knotless join, as you do to connect the warp. there is a book available called Rags to Rugs, from Country threads, that gives step by step pictures, and diagrams and instructions for making your own looms from readily available materials at any Home center store. The only modifications I made to my looms, were to use bolts, washers and wing nuts, rather than nails to assemble the frames in order to make the rails interchangeable. Made 2 full sets for less than $30
Fold your strip in half so you have 2 ends to weave with. Add pieces just like you attached initial pieces to roll in the ball. At end sew two ends in place.
I was looking for a way to make Danish Rag Rugs when I found your video. It was all I needed to get me started. I made a loom just like the one you have but mine is adjustable to any size of rug that I want to make from place mats to full size 36X53 inch rugs. Thank you soooo much for the heads up.Since then I have made a couple of dozen rugs and even been teaching others how to get into it.
I remember back in the 50's and 60's. My grand mother would but these rugs from a neighbor. I had some in my hope chest. I still have a couple, forty nine years later
I used to help Mom sew strips of cloth, end to end, then roll into balls and took them to a lady that had a loom and she used very strong thread to bind them. Many of those rugs are still with Mom and I today. Mom is 95 and I'm 65. I've tried doing them by hand and they just don't last very long because they come apart and are lumpy.
love it !! I am weaving using a traditional Leclerc loom. This is wayyy easier to set up and move around, I can't wait to try this. I am also a quilter !!
FOR John, the Loommaker: These may be silly questions (I'm a rather silly person!) Could you put the dowel at a slight angle ( away from the center) to help with strands sliding off while weaving? Or how about hooks that one could turn when removing finished work?
you forgot to show us what to do when you run out of fabric in the middle of a weave? how do you continue? Do you make the same 2 slits and reconect more fabric?
I made a loom similar to yours except that I made it with pegs all the way around (no corner peg). My method was to weave strips but taking off the loom was problematic at best. I knotted a few but preferred to sew the edges just because they laid flatter.(Too much work sewing though). Why do you not continue all the way to the end with your rope strips?(that was the impression I got from the video.) I am about to do some more rugging and may implement your method into mine, Thanks.
How to you join the top part of the rug and the bottom part of the rug in the middle? Do you just make a slip knot in the middle? You need to be able to join it some how in order to finish the rug.
I think it's more likely that it's disappearing because there are alternate ways of making rag rugs that don't require a huge frame. If I crochet a rug, I can make it whatever size or shape I like and all I need is a hook. In a pinch, the yarn is big enough that I could just finger crochet and not need any tools whatsoever other than a pair of scissors to prepare the fabric. Braided rugs and toothbrush rugs also require very few tools, just a needle and thread or a toothbrush needle, respectively. Do woven rugs present some significant advantage over other methods of rag rug?
As a crocheter/knitter/Tunisian crocheter/aspiring weaver my guess is that making rugs on a loom would be more durable as there is a warp and a weft. Tunisian crochet is more heavy/thick/durable than knit or crochet because you kind of do have a warp and a weft. There’s yarn running in two different directions rather than just one. Also I can only assume that weaving is easier on your arms and hands than knitting or crocheting with bulky yarns.
1) how are the two strips secured at the beginning and at the end? 2) how is the rug removed from the loom and is it necessary to secure the edges in any way before removing them from the pegs? 3) how are more strips added on? 4) will these questions be answered if I purchase a loom? If so, you should tell me; it would entice me to make a purchase. Beautiful finished product, great infomercial, but not such a great tutorial. 🙊
Old school from me 80's Aidita that's me thank you very much....recycling anything my stuff you know you can make a good room mate with elizabeth holmes.....
First you pull out the bars on the sides and then remove it from the pegs. I find it easier to tuck in the ends after it is off of the loom. I have made many many rugs on a frame like this.
1:02 If adding the strips together is so easy, why make them 15 feet long and work with those heavy balls? Why not make your starter strips some comfortable length... say 5-feet long, then double over the rod with 2.5 feet long tales? Then as you"weave" add strips as needed? 💖🌞🌵😷
Could I make a loom that would work?? I want to do some rugs for my girls 18” doll house (scale is 1:3...rooms are 22” wide, 24” deep and 21” High...6 rooms) I bought a little latch hook square but have NO clue what to do. I figured it would be as easy as tying some smaller strips. I’m still determining size....for a pillow we do 9” long by 6” wide.....any advice??
The plastic shopping bag mats would be VERY expensive to make now. They charge a bit more than $1 per plastic bag at stores in Sweden. Who would have thought a plastic bag mat would cost more than a cloth one?
¡Hola ! Que rico que las encontré ,me encanta su técnica , sobre todo el reciclaje de ropa soy una convencida que con pequeños hechos podemos lograr tener un planeta contaminado de consumismo ,yo lo estoy haciendo pero estoy trabajando con materiales de algodón y fibra, solo estoy tratando que las uniones no queden tan expuestas me a costado un poquito ..Pero ay va le doy gracias a mi maestro que existan personas como ustedes bendiciones ,yo de aca de un país largo y angosto llamado CHILE VAIIIIIIIIIII VAIIIIIIII OJALA ME RESPONDAS ,Jessy
The process there with two strips is called twining. It is taking two strips, and actually crossing them over the up and down warp string on every string. It makes a sturdy rug. Plain up and down weaving which will show the warp threads more can be done with one strip. It is lighter and more open to simply use one and make it go up and down across the warp. Hope that helps. I have not done twining for a rug but use it at the top and bottom of my floor loom,,,, Navaho style,,,, to help keep the warp in place. The heavy rods on the side are good to use. In weaving almost anything, a heavy chord or set of warp threads with a great amount of tension on them is good to use on the sides to keep the piece from pulling in.
another strand she has ready, the same fabric. anything, sheets shirts, jeans, you name it she said.she adds it to the existing one, like she showed in the beginning.then she keeps on weaving.
I'm years behind on this video, would you happen to know if they are still selling the looms? it isn't on their henscratchquilting.com site that flashed on this video you showed

I bought one of these looms from John and Janet after watching this video and I love it.
Janet, I admire you and John so much. Thank you for keeping the old arts alive by sharing your skills on TH-cam.
Wow! Janet explains this so succinctly! I just watched another lady who took 30 minutes to belabor "over/under". Thank you, Janet!

I agree! I had an old rag rug for nap time in kindergarten too. I’m 62 from Wisconsin.
Some girls had new ones if my memory serves. Blessings
This was lovely, you are such a great presenter, happy, smiling, relaxed, encouraging. Thank you.

I love it! What nice pieces you can do with those looms! You are also protecting the planet. Congratulations.
Great video! We love making rugs, we have them in every bathroom and in the kitchen. They always go great for a country look. And great gifts!

Darn, this is one the best demonstrations of rag rugs I found, thanks.
We're happy you enjoyed this episode!
What are they using for the under over? That's unclear

Love to weave. Gonna make my hubby build me a loom like that.
I didn't understand the second step. It looks like your braiding the pink & burgundy while going over & under???
you forgot to show us what to do when you run out of fabric in the middle of a weave? how do you continue? Do you make the same 2 slits and reconect more fabric?

bathroom set on loom nails. I am Brazilian and first time I am seeing your work and I loved it. if you can help me thank you.
Can you make smaller ones (like the place-mat size) and stitch them together to make a large one?
How to you join the top part of the rug and the bottom part of the rug in the middle? Do you just make a slip knot in the middle? You need to be able to join it some how in order to finish the rug.

Do you have an updated version showing how the weaving is started and ended?
Fabulous. I would love to purchase a loom. What's the website please.
How do the ones with plastic/cloth warp wash up???
I love your method. Do you know if this method would work with a chunky yarn?
1) how are the two strips secured at the beginning and at the end?
2) how is the rug removed from the loom and is it necessary to secure the edges in any way before removing them from the pegs?
3) how are more strips added on?
4) will these questions be answered if I purchase a loom? If so, you should tell me; it would entice me to make a purchase.
Beautiful finished product, great infomercial, but not such a great tutorial. 🙊
Hello. I am just learning how to do this and I am not quite sure how to get started. Any suggestions would be helpful.
This is just what I was looking for ! Thank you soooo much!
GREAT WORK -- WHAT A GREAT VIEW YOU HAVE THERE
Old school from me 80's Aidita that's me thank you very much....recycling anything my stuff you know you can make a good room mate with elizabeth holmes.....
u are amazing both of you. Very good and your hands are so skilled!
SO ,SO, SO COOL & NEET ! HOW MUCH FOR THE WHOLE SET OF TOOLS JOHN ?
This is a wonderful idea . How do you start the weaving Janet starts weaving in the middle . How do you start the horizontal weave.
Shame you didn't show how to finish the weaving and how to take it out of the loom!
SeethingGita white ppl
SeethingGita 😞😞
simple. slide it off the pegs
Julie Prince won’t the unsecured ends simply come loose from the weaving?
First you pull out the bars on the sides and then remove it from the pegs. I find it easier to tuck in the ends after it is off of the loom. I have made many many rugs on a frame like this.

mrpearl1, yes, that is what you would do. I have seen the same joining technique for other projects.
Could I make a loom that would work??

Looking for a way to use balls of yarn, have not been able to till now
Thanks so much for sharing this video.......love ur creativity and the positivity...will sure give it a try...thanks from greece
how do u cut in such a way to get the most length out of a sheet for example so you dont have to stop and create connections?
I WAS TAUGHT TO CROCHET MINE!!! AND IF YOU WANT THEM TO REALLY LAST SEW EACH STRIP TO THE PREVIOUS ONE!!!
Hope you LADIES are doing WELL 2023. 73 and just found you ( In N. England ).
May I ask, why 2 strips when you weave? What is the second? How would someone learn this for a hobby? Looks like fun :)
So cool thanks. I loom knit love it. Do you loom knit too? Might have to try this thanks.
Great tutorial, ladies! New sub.
When you first start the rug do you use the bar and count it as unit one that would be on the right hand side as you face your work?
Wherebcan odernthe looms and how. Munch please. Where. The. Web. Site. Please
excellent video, and stunning backdrop too!
Loved this video. Just one question. On the plastic bags' rug is it a must to warp with material or could it also be done in plastic. Thank you :)
The magic how the green turned light blue
Video is incomplete, you should have made it completely
The plastic shopping bag mats would be VERY expensive to make now. They charge a bit more than $1 per plastic bag at stores in Sweden. Who would have thought a plastic bag mat would cost more than a cloth one?
Great video! Love love love. Super host.
Yes I want to know what to do once you are done !
Another alternative and could use my existing loom
Hi.i want to ask where do we get this frame?

What are you using for under over after the initial fabric strip are strung?
Aunt Sandy v
another strand she has ready, the same fabric. anything, sheets shirts, jeans, you name it she said.she adds it to the existing one, like she showed in the beginning.then she keeps on weaving.
Where can you buy a loom?
How much are the Looms
Buenos días sería bueno ver en castellano estos vídeos son interesantes gracias
