About two years ago I was given two large boxes of white t-shirts by a friend of mine. They had been overstock fa m a fund raising effort. It has taken those two years to collec/ enough non-white t-shirts to balance all tha/ white. The result is a huge batch of rainbow hit or miss patterned rugs. They remind me of the rugs we took to kindergarten when I was a child and I have included a sweet picture of my husband when he was just lit/le tyke on his way to Kindergarten for those who are too young to remember those good old days. He lit/le realized how many rugs he would haul in his later life.These rugs are heavy and soft and very colorful. Each one is sub/ly unique, although they all compliment each other very well.This stunning rag rug is woven of recycled cotton and cotton blend t-shirts. It is woven in a traditional weft pattern called Hit or Miss.Hit or Miss is a very traditional technique method of recycling the smallest of leftover pieces of fabric. Because of this it is very labor intensive. I usually fillet 50 or 60 shirts to get a nice big batch of colors. Those are then cut into strips. I hate waste so some of the pieces are as short as four inches. This means I am able to do only one or two hit or miss batches per year. I love the festival of colors and the honoring of traditional techniques. This is a rug tha/ will brighten any spot.Warp is done in stripes of Red alternating with Natural and BlackIt is a polyester warp The size of this rug is 24" x 46"Length of rug does not include the length of hand knotted fringeMy greatest joy in weaving comes in color exploration. Weaving rag rugs allows me to combine colors in ways tha/ I might not have thought of if the "rags" were not in fr nt of me, daring me to put them together.All my rugs are woven on a large vintage "Weaver's Delight" rug loom built in 1942. The whole house shakes when I am weaving. The designs are my own and I have won several awards for my work. I use all recycled materials in my wefts and either cotton or polyester warp. My rugs are machine washable in warm or cool. It is best to line dry. Give the fringe a good shake to straighten it and hang over a clothesline or r/8d. With a bit of care this rug will last a good many years.Shipping is included on this rug when sent within the contiguous United States. I am happy to ship elsewhere. Please contact me before purchase so tha/ I may provide you with an accurate rate.INV# RA051446
