Woven Rag Rug - "Triangulated"

This one-of-a-kind woven rag rug is handmade in New Zealand out of strips of old t-shirts that are too old, stretched, faded, or otherwise not suitable to wear.

The rug is woven on a simple wooden frame loom using a technique called twining. The thick rug will keep your feet warm in the bedroom, bathroom or kitchen, or provide a cozy place to sit on the floor and play with the kids. It would make the perfect zero-waste gift for your environmentally conscious friend or family.

size: 62 cm x 102 cm
Colours: red, white, grey, black

The rug weighs about 2 kg, so by buying this rug you are helping to divert a lot of textile waste from landfill. Plus, the wooden frame used to weave the rug was made out of offcuts from a home construction project.

The off-cut waistbands and cuffs from the t-shirts are used to make dog toys (see my other listings). Tiny offcuts are composted or saved as stuffing for other projects.
