In the Handwoven Issue September/October 1997 on page 34 is a picture of a jean rug and on page 84 is the instructions for weaving one. Away of using old jeans. Everyone in the family gives me their old jeans now. So, I have a lot of jean strips to make rugs. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> [color:"brown"]

I have never made one but have heard that they make wonderful rugs.

What I love in this forum are the great ideas that come from enterprising people. This idea is in the true spirit of ragrug-making: employing materials that are plentiful, are at the end of their natural life cycle, but still of sound quality and worthy of a new destination.

The blues in jeans are varied and make for beautiful shadings in a one-colour rug.

I would love to see some photos, and perhaps add them to my collection with permission from the author of the rug and the photographer.

I weave both on a large floor loom and on frames. I also crochet rugs using jeans and other clothing as well as bedding. Sheets work up nicely and are easy to tear into strips.
