In my second book "Rag Rug Techniques for Beginners", I teach readers how to peg loom weave and use a two string loom to create beautiful upcycled rugs and smaller textile projects. You can read an overview of these techniques on my "About Rag Rug Techniques" page here.
About this product:
To peg loom weave or use a two string loom, you need "warp" to build up a framework that holds your rag rugging together. The warp is usually a type of string / yarn, which is thin but extra strong. The last thing you want is for the warp to snap part way through a project as it means your creation will fall apart!
This rug warp is tried and tested by the Ragged Life team. It's what we use in all our projects and workshops.
This listing is for one 350g cone (approx 1000 metres) of warp, specifically sourced for weaving and rag rugging. Our Ragged Life warp is 100% cotton. It is made using five twisted cotton strands for strength and longevity. Multi-ply cotton yarns create a softer, more premium feel.
** Reels sold individually**
The colour of the warp itself doesn't matter in peg loom weaving or two string looming as it doesn't show, but the warp we sell is a white colour, which is neutral and versatile.
Other Uses:
As well as being excellent as warp, this blend can be used for knitting and crochet too. It is 5 ply for anyone looking to multipurpose.

If you're interested in learning peg loom weaving or two string looming, we recommend buying a copy of "Rag Rug Techniques for Beginners", which includes all our advice on preparing fabrics, warping up the looms and the techniques themselves. It even has three beginner projects for each technique to get you started.... If you'd like the looms themselves, you can buy a peg loom here or a two string loom here.
