Making a rug with yarn.

A basic shirren rug hook and basic instructions for making shirred rugs. Wrap the braid until you have gone around two or three times. Tie the yarn strands together with a knot at the very end of them. Before the age of television people had more time to work with their hands and were very creative with simple yarn.

My order was promptly shipped and the colors are wonderful. Simply add nails to a frame and then add string and t shirt yarn. If you want a circle then start with a simple circle direction also in the clockwise direction. Wrap braids clockwise if you want an oval rug then start with a long center and wrap the braid around in a clockwise direction.

You can also overlap the yarns instead of making knots. Start with a simple design like a stripe wavy pattern or block. Decorate your home with original yarn rugs that you design and make yourself. Work your way up to more complicated designs.
