We are frequently asked to
do custom work, making a
certain style & color of rug
in a certain size. Although
we are able to meet some
requests, it is not possible
to accept every order. An
alternative is to make
custom rugs using your
fabrics.
We are offering an ongoing
internet special using your
cast-off clothing. Imagine
transforming an outdated
t-shirt collections into a rug
that will last for many years.
Or taking all of those socks
with holes in them or socks
missing their mates and
changing them into a
colorful rug that is truly
unique. These rugs are
machine washable and
guaranteed to last a very
long time.
T-shirt rug guidelines: In this rug you can mix any
blend of knit weight materials. T-shirts, polo-shirts
and turtle necks will all work. Stripes and solids will all
blend together. What doesn't work is t-shirts with
pictures or logos covering the front or back. Be
creative with your color combinations but remember
you have to live with it!
For $150 we will transform up to 20 of your knit shirts
into a rug. The rug will be 28" wide and the length
could be up to 60" but that will depend on the sizes of
your shirts. Can't guarantee the length on these.
Sock-rug guidelines: Same as above only
with socks. For $150 we can weave up to 40
pairs of your clean cast-off/mismatched socks
into a rug. Imagine telling your friends your
kitchen sink rug is made from your families old
socks!
