| Shirred Rug Making Shirred rug making is an American art that uses a special needle to crochét fabulous carpets from fabric scraps. Easier and faster than hooking or braiding, Shirret produces sturdy, soft and colorful carpets from wool or cotton recycled clothing or new fabric. Hand dyed fabrics in contemporary colors can be used for a designer look, or old clothing - plaids and prints, worn out jeans and T shirts - can be used for a primitive/folk art look. A rag cutter is very useful for making shirred rugs. |

Shirren / Shirret Rug Hook with Instructions
Included is a Shirren rug hook and basic instruction for making a shirred rug. Shirred rugs remain the least known techniques of rag rug making, but this technique has wonderful advantages over the more popular hooked and braided styles. Strips of fabric are folded and joined at the center, with the strips standing on edge in the finished piece. The resulting rugs are luxurious and completely reversible. Aside from the hook, fabric strips of any length, and a strong cotton rug yarn, no other supplies, such as frames or clamps, are necessary.
