Have you made a rag rug?

Yes I have made one that is tied together by using a tool. It was easy to do and used a lot of strips. When I make more of these I need to work on my tension as the rug was a little wobbly in places. The rug is rectangular and was it ever fun to choose old fabric that I'd never use otherwise. Have fun with it. I ordered the tool and instructions from Nancys notions.

I made one with a similar "locker hooking" hook, but I found it very hard on my hands and gave the hook away after. Here is a link showing some instructions, if that helps?https://www.instructables.com/id/How...cker-Hook-Rug/

I have made many using a wooden frame and the instructions from the book Rugs from Rags by country threads. This does result in only being able to make one size of a rug. I have made over 30 rugs and all have been very well received. They are my go to wedding and housewarming gift.
I have also tried to make a toothbrush rug but didn't get the hang of it.

Not knowing what I was doing, I used strips of sheets & crocheted an oval rug. I remember I had to increase stitches on the corners. It turned out so well, I made another & have used them for years in the basement. I should add, I can barely crochet.
