Most people are surprised to learn that there are hundreds of ways of turning rags into rugs.
Here, at Rafter-four Designs , we are working toward preserving the traditional rug making techniques which have fallen by the wayside. We believe that the best way to preserve a folk art is to teach folks how to do it with modern, reliable directions. The rugs featured here are the genuine article. These rugs were originally created out of necessity, with limited supplies and only the simplest tools. But beyond the basic techniques, traditional rugs can be modern pieces of design and craftsmanship which are an asset to any home.
