Do you weave "rag rugs"? You use plain cotton thread for the warp and
strips of rags for the weft. They turn out to be beautiful.

i use very strong Cotton [ the kind that is used by builders etc,,,
But to give it some `Interest` , i also throw in several Colored
cotton threads , in groups of 8-16
This will cause some of the Cloth weft to look different + a nice
elongate lengthway stripe o the work .

I have done a "toothbrush rug" made by cutting the good parts of an old
sheet that had colors I loved into strips
(http://www.toothbrushrug.com/) and using it for a bath mat and am going
to make more for dog crate mats.

Mirjam, if I can do this without buying a kit, you can, too. I just
read about it somewhere, looked it up on the Internet and found the link
I posted to you among others, make a tool out of a toothbrush, ripped up
an old sheet that I loved the colors of but couldn't use as a sheet, and
did it.
