My mother is a bit of a self confessed hoarder. She hates wasting anything. Of late she has been bringing home the fat quarter and jelly roll cast off scarps from her job at a quilt store. On a recent trip home she convinced her sister and I to help.
We are tying these fabric strips with overhead knots to make rag yarn for Crochet Rag Rugs. Then rolling the “yarn” into balls.
I just couldn’t help but think….god I wouldn’t want to knit with this! But she has a couple of rugs done and a nice basket of yarn finished.
I guess we are just a crafty family! Happy Crafting!!

I do believe that craftiness does run in families! Love the fabrics in those rag balls.
My aunt was a waste not want not type. Always living on the stringiest of shoestring budgets. She made these type of rag rugs, and I LOVED mine! Fun to see all those different fabric colors.
I bet they are pretty rugs
Yes, I would love to see a rug!
Smart! I save old jersey knit clothes for rugs. On my first attempt I didn’t know to cut the fabric in a spiral to make longer strips–lesson quickly learned!
I keep wanting to put together a makeshift sort of loom to put some rag rugs together. Someday!!
You make tote bags with this stuff, too! Glad you’re blessed with a crafty family, too. 🙂
