Handwoven RAG RUGS by local weavers in
Washington County, Maine are available now!
-
One-of-a-kind unique rag rugs are carefully woven on a wonderful, large Cranbrook floor loom located in the clean environment of our Gallery. Out
of an abundance of caution, the Gallery has been closed to the public since
-
the beginning of the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic.
-
Our rugs are made of a variety of materials, colors,
and sizes including wonderful new cottons or repurposed, sheets, tablecloths, clothing, curtains, and polyesters. Our wool rugs are the most costly, using wool fabrics or skeins of wool from Maine
sources. Other than wools, fabrics are pre-washed and pre-shrunk. Often, we will wet felt a wool rug before purchase to tighten up the weave and provide the most beautiful "look".
-
Warps are strong 100% cotton or poly/cotton or 100% poly (strongest of all). We carefully craft our rugs to
last many years
-
Our cotton rugs
are small enough for a normal washer (gentle cycle) using no bleach, then hung to dry, never put in a dryer. Wool rugs should be swept, vacuumed, or dry cleaned; often they serve as decorative wall
hangings.
-
Prices range from $15-$45 a square foot, depending on materials and complexity of
design.
-
Our ITTYBITTY soft cotton flannel rugs (for kids and kitties and puppies too!) are just $50, roughly 16-20"
x 30-33"

For health concerns, we have a NO RETURNS policy for all fiber products, including rugs, felted wool wall hangings, and both nuno and shibori scarves.
