I can't help but say "rag rug" like "redruM" in The Shining...
Since I'm not working due to ADHD mismanagement on my own part (not to mention the resulting anxiety and depression), I need something to do other than putter around the house and obsessively rearrange bed pillows. I've acquired a small (18" x 24") weaving loom and a bunch of old clothing that resulted from a recent purge (I've literally been through every closet and box in the house clearing out clutter that was cluttering my brain). I'm thinking I'll use denim strips as my warp, and cotton/hemp t-shirts for weft. I figure the small loom will work for placemats. I've also got an adjustable clothing rack that I think might make a decent frame for larger projects. I figured rag rugs would be a very forgiving way to get into weaving and still result in a practical product (I'm all for crafts, but I don't need the results of my boredom piling up as clutter).
Anyone else play with weaving this way? or any other ways?
