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.
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.
You skipped showing the most crucial part - doubling your strip that you are weaving with... how to double it. and how to insert the first strip, etc... this was just a fluff video... not much educational info here - wait - except telling us that on the first row you have to go through the loop at the end - that one was good info...
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.
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
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.
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? 💖🌞🌵😷
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🙊
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.
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.
You can actually easily make your own loom...so don't be discouraged by the cost of those things. Those weren't around 25,000 years ago...people have been making their own forever. Or at least, up until 100 years ago, lol.
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. 😊😍
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.....
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?
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
Plastic bags are not useable any more as the fall apart now, but some leaf bags and garbage bags may work for now.other then that yard sale and get old sheets.
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??

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
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?
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
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!
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?
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." 😭🤦
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.
You did not explain how to start and stop the small pieces you twisted around Around the long warped pieces. It mostly was a commercial for your hubby's looms but no complete explanation of your method. I have only woven rugs, which is not what you were doing,you were twisting and I think that would be more durable as each pass is actually 2 strips used as one, but not sure how you exactly went about it🤨
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.
I wish you would slow down and show the actual weaving technique - you say it's 'over and under' but it's not just that is it ? 'over and under' is what you do with just one strand of yarn/fabric, you are using two, and you are going so fast, I can't see what you are doing !
I totally agree! I’d love to learn how to make these, but she did go way too fast and I’m also confused about how she does two strips at the same time. ☹️
@@jennamakesbugs I have watched her so many times they are going to start charging me for a seat. None of these three replies still haven't answered the question. Over what and under what? You can't even see what warp she is picking, I know it's the next in line but what is she doing with it. She does need to slow down and offer more explanation. I've seen this same video over and over. Thanks Jenna Carla
@@carlashipley9195 I am not a weaver and it makes sense to me, but you can slow the video down if you think that will help. This is more of a demonstration than an instructional video, though, so if you want to know more about weaving there are millions of other videos and other resources to learn. I am sure you do not have to do it exactly the way she does. Stop arguing that you're right and just help yourself by researching more.
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.
Nice video except that filming out in the sun on a bright sunny day gives you harsh shadows. Could put up some cover over you so that you would be in shade.
No info on how to cut plastic bags or join them together. No info on how to get the two strands for the actual weaving. Nice demonstration to get people interested but not a good tutorial.
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.
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 bought one of these looms from John and Janet after watching this video and I love it.
How did you start weaving? Where did the two strips come from? How do you secure the ends when finished? Many details left out.
😆🤣😂 I was wondering if I needed to re-watch the video! hehehe
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.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who got lost
Janet, I admire you and John so much. Thank you for keeping the old arts alive by sharing your skills on TH-cam.
This was lovely, you are such a great presenter, happy, smiling, relaxed, encouraging. Thank you.

Going to give this a try all the way from Scotland 🏴 uk, Thankyou just love it

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.

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
You can just tell that older lady hates her. Hah. And an easy, cheap way to make a loom is with a picture frame or boards and nail. Prestomatic.
I wish you would slow down and show the actual weaving technique - you say it's 'over and under' but it's not just that is it ? 'over and under' is what you do with just one strand of yarn/fabric, you are using two, and you are going so fast, I can't see what you are doing !
She's just twisting the two strands in between each warp thread. This helps to lock the weaving in even more and makes a nice tight mat or rug.
I totally agree! I’d love to learn how to make these, but she did go way too fast and I’m also confused about how she does two strips at the same time. ☹️
One goes over, under while the other goes under, over. She's essentially weaving 2 passes at once.

Dang it not another fun hobby to add to my already over hobbied life!! ❤
May I ask, why 2 strips when you weave? What is the second? How would someone learn this for a hobby? Looks like fun :)
Sorry, I would have liked more instructions, but I guess I can look up another one and find out how to finish up and why you do each end first.
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.
Just looks like a infomercial
Nice video except that filming out in the sun on a bright sunny day gives you harsh shadows. Could put up some cover over you so that you would be in shade.
Why the hell is it in my recommendation??? I dont even know about this😑
I love it! What nice pieces you can do with those looms! You are also protecting the planet. Congratulations.
Hello. I am just learning how to do this and I am not quite sure how to get started. Any suggestions would be helpful.
How do the ones with plastic/cloth warp wash up???
Jeje hehehe hahaha!!!!! My ideas but good for youuuu!!!!!
🙏😘😘😘
The weaver started the weaving without showing how she began! The 2nd ad interrupted her beginning. Annoying.
You didn’t show how to start the first vertical row.
No info on how to cut plastic bags or join them together. No info on how to get the two strands for the actual weaving.
Nice demonstration to get people interested but not a good tutorial.
Can you make smaller ones (like the place-mat size) and stitch them together to make a large one?

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.
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.
This is twining, not technically weaving.
