Welcome to our beginner's guide to weaving rag rugs! In this comprehensive tutorial, Brittany will walk you through everything you need to know to get set up to start weaving a rag rug.

First, we'll delve into the basics, explaining what a rag rug loom is and some basic steps to building your own.

Next, we'll dive into the exciting world of fabric selection. We'll discuss the best types of fabric to use for rag rug weaving, as well as tips for selecting colors and patterns that will complement your space.
