Invent your own rag rug

Choose your colors below.

Our 12/6 cotton rug warp is the highest quality warp to be found for rag rugs, due to its long fiber content and tight double twist. When woven under tight tension and with a hard beat, your rug will not buckle or ripple, but always lie flat and firm on the floor. Our stripe design is colorful and fun, or choose a solid color if you prefer, and let us know. So much opportunity for design, and making good use of cast-off clothing and other textile goods. No need to worry about the math, simply choose one of our colorways, or invent your own.

How to invent your own colorway:

Email your color choices to orders@vavstuga.com when you place your order.

1. Explore our Yarn Playground interactive tool to customize this winding.
2. Note that our Yarn-in-a-Jar design tool gives more accurate color representation than your screen.
3. Use this handy PDF chart to keep track of your color names and numbers, or choose a solid color if you prefer. (If any of your chosen colors are out of stock, we will contact you so that you can choose a substitute.)
4. Email your color choices to orders@vavstuga.com at the time you place your order.
