Lee's Rag Rugs

I love making these rugs! I use primarily recycled fabrics, including old clothes salvaged from rummage sales, and turn these discards into bold and useful accents for your home. I make rugs either in cotton, 30" wide in various lengths, or in wool with a 34" width. The cotton rugs are machine-washable (with care!), so they're great to use in a bathroom, your kitchen, or a busy hallway. The wool rugs are cushy and warm, comfortable for a bedroom or living space. All the rugs are made tough, with cotton/polyester warp yarns and heavy polyester stitching to secure the hems.
