Learn to Make a Rag Rug!

Learn to make rag rugs from old sheets, a thrifty and beautiful way to add warmth and texture to your home. In this two day class, we will use a simple crocheted method that requires minimal tools and no loom. Rugs can be made small for bathrooms and entryways or large enough for living rooms and bedrooms. Everyone will come home with a finished rug and the tools and experience to make more. No prior skills necessary, though this technique involves repetitive hand work and may not be suitable for people with chronic hand pain.
