The following articles appeared in our 2004 catalog/magazine and we are
bringing them to the web because we've had so many requests for similar
information. We often get questions from beginners who are overwhelmed
by how many choices there are for rug making. Below you will find our
standard advice for first-time rug makers about where to start.
Scroll down to find an article about the varieties of rugs and how
there came to be so many. At the bottom of the page you'll find the
"Rag rugs family tree" which is a graphic depiction of the relationship
of the major divisions of rag rugs. (Because these are jpg files
scanned from our catalog/magazine, you can save them to your hard drive
and view them in larger print.)
