More Twined Mats

 This one is rather festive...an old pink kimono that by itself was quite dated and not too attractive, mixed nicely with some purples and greens from some other pieces. It is all silk. There is a gold thread that runs through some of the embroidery and adds some glitter to this mat - an indoor item, not really for muddy boots!

Toothbrush Rugs

 Using my modified toothbrush as a tool, I made some more carpets.

 This is from a lightweight cotton bedspread. I used scraps of cotton and silk for the "cord" (the non-weaving strand).

 I needed a long runner for the interior door...so I chained a long rope before beginning my loops. It is about 56" long. Printed silk and cotton strips from outdated kimono.

Rags - blouses, t-shirts, sweaters.

 A dear friend dropped off a few bags of old t-shirts that soon became balls of "yarn". The remaining blouses, button down shirts and pants became strips for simple rugs. 

I used heavy cotton string from the garden store for the warp on a peg loom. All of the mats are about 20" wide by 26" long.

This one is mostly knits.
