Rag rugs, Cotton rag rugs

Weaving rag rugs began after the American Revolution as a way to provide floor coverings by using the scarce materials that were available. Combining function with thrift, the weaver was able to create a durable carpet for the home without added cost. Rag rugs were crocheted with fabric strips cut from old clothing, allowing the weaver to reuse every bit of fabric a family owned. Today, rag rugs are made more for fashion than for necessity. Rug Smart carries a wide selection of rag rugs in a variety of sizes and colors. Browse through our rag rugs to find the design that will fit your room and your style perfectly.
