Rag Rug Fabrics
At Ragged Life, we believe that the right fabric can transform your rag rug projects from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether you're crafting a cosy rug, a vibrant cushion, or a striking wall hanging, choosing the right material is key. That’s why we offer a curated range of high-quality recycled fabrics, each selected for its unique texture, durability, and versatility. Here’s everything you need to know about our signature rug making fabrics and how they can bring your creations to life. Remember, the ethos of rag rug making is all around recycling, so all these fabrics can be mixed together with other materials you have at home. NB: Just because you buy one ball of blanket yarn doesn't mean that the whole project needs to use the same fabric! It'll just add a certain "je ne sais quoi" to your project.Woollen Blanket Yarn
Our Woollen Blanket Yarn is sought after by rag rug makers from across the world for its soft woollen texture, unbeatable quality and ease of use. What is it? What we at Ragged Life called "Woollen Blanket Yarn" is sometimes known as "Woollen Selvedge Edges", "Blanket and Scarf Offcuts" or simply "Posh Recycling". When woollen blankets and scarves are made in the British mills, at the end of the process, a selvedge strip is cut off both sides to finish them off. These 2 to 5cm-wide strips of blanket and scarf are 100% wool, bound on the sides (so don't fall apart) and top quality.
What Is It Used For?
Blanket yarn can be used for any rag rug technique, including shaggy rag rugs (proddy mats), loopy rag rugs, rug hooking, the short shaggy technique, peg loom weaving, locker hooking, braided rag rugs, weaving, rug twining - any rug making technique you can think of really! As if that wasn't enough, it can also be used for other crafts, including crochet, extreme knitting, basket weaving, appliqué, mixed media work etc.... As blanket yarn comes pre-cut into long, continuous strips, it works especially well for any craft where you would work with long strips of fabric e.g. peg loom weaving and rug hooking. It's also best for projects where you're looking to make something that will last for generations to come, as these woollen selvedge strips are durable and naturally hard-wearing. Wool burns slower than man-made fibres, making it an excellent choice for hearth rugs. Blanket yarn is also the perfect choice if you want to make a project quickly.
