I loved this idea and it inspire me to do rug using my old clothes. I saw a lot of rug weaving but i found your is amazing and seriously utilising the clithes easily using this. Thanks so much❤❤
Ooh what are the bins? That sounds like a fun place. Yes the frame needs to be sturdy but you can take a wobbly frame and reinforce it with metal brackets like I did. I look forward to seeing your rugs!
I had just make chair pads for my kitchen chairs 😊 the heels and toes make cats and dog beds for donations or for your own pets. Aw you are fun come back.
Hi Alli - you are welcome to use strips of t-shirts. In my case, I use the rest of the t-shirts to make t-shirt yarn. I weave them into a different type of rug called a fluffy rug. You can visit trashmagination.com to learn more about that. This rug was designed to use up the t-shirt components that I cannot use to make t-shirt yarn. If you don't make t-shirt yarn, then you could certainly use it in this type of rug! Do note that the strips that are not on the waistband will stretch a LOT more because there are not stitches holding it back. You will need to experiment but I bet a child's t-shirt will give you a big enough loop for this size of loom. An adult t-shirt loop would stretch out too much.
Thank you for this fun project to use up my bags of old socks. I would be tempted to save the heals and toes for stuffing. I'm wondering if you could make floor pillows or cubes with your little rugs?
Great work! I am wondering if you have tried making a twined rug with the same materials? Also, have you tried the weaver's trick of using a string to loop through every other warp in the row and run a dowel through these loops to help lift the whole row in a single go?
¡Gracias por tu pregunta! No lo pondría en mi lavadora de casa. Pesa entre 3 y 4,5 kg. Si está mojado, podría romper la máquina. Así que lo llevo a la lavandería.
instead of tying them in knots at the end, you could crochet them all together to give a neater finished look, then tying the last one into a knot cutting the ends of the knot off.
I have, on the rugs I have made. It's pretty simple, just loop one into the other, it's pretty close to the knot you did to loop one into another to make it longer
There are three reasons why it might not work: 1) you would need a loom the size of a bed, 2) it's a relatively loose weave that falls apart after rough use, 3) it's quite heavy so it could break a regular washing machine if it was a large item. So for those three reasons it's probably not a good idea - but let me know if you try!
In our house, it would only take a few months to get enough socks. So no worries! You'll be making a rug in no time! Plus you could ask friends and that will speed it up.
Well, my holes in my heddle loom are too small and I could not squeeze in the t-shirt loops to make the warp. But maybe your heddle loom has very large holes where you put in your warp threads? Certainly, if you wanted to use a regular thread for the warp, you could weave with sock & t-shirt loops for the weft.
THIS WAS AWESOME! This method reminded me of the potholder loom kits I used as a kid . Totally cool! 😊❤
Thanks for your enthusiasm Carol! I would love to see what you make!
Brilliant recycling 🎉

Thank you for the kind remarks! Good luck with your weaving!
Love watching crafts like this idea with a frame. Never thought of using old socks .
Great video thanks
This is exactly the tutorial I was looking for and you are a great teatcher. Thank you for the video!
Gosh thanks so much! I appreciate your positive energy! Have fun making rugs!
I know what I'm picking up at the bins next time! This is great for upcycling! It also looks like the frame needs to be pretty sturdy.

Thanks for your video, it's a great way to recycle
Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Very cool
This is so cool!
Very nice and relaxing to watch😊 well done
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I had just make chair pads for my kitchen chairs 😊 the heels and toes make cats and dog beds for donations or for your own pets. Aw you are fun come back.
Heels and toes could be used as stuffing in pillows or stuffed animals.
I'm so excited to try out this. Thank you for great instructions
Great tutorial! 1st time watching you :)
Awesome ❤
Why can’t you use just strips of t-shirt for the long pieces? Why only the bottoms hem of the t-shirt?

Great idea! I would love to see what you make with the toes and heels of socks!
Brilliant idea thank you!

I have tried many kinds of weaving, including using a stick, but I don't find that is faster. I have not made a twined rug. You certainly could try!
Se puede lavar en la máquina de lavar??????muy bonita

I don't crochet - but I hope you'll give your idea a try!

How would this work for bed covering?
There are three reasons why it might not work: 1) you would need a loom the size of a bed, 2) it's a relatively loose weave that falls apart after rough use, 3) it's quite heavy so it could break a regular washing machine if it was a large item.

@trashmagination1000 Thanks for responding so fast and also for the reasons, I'll give the rug a try, Thanks again 😉
Wow love this ❤❤
Thank you for the enthusiasm!
Hermoso trabajo!!!!!!
Ty❤
I’m so sad I just threw a trash bag full of socks away 🤦🏻♀️ and my daughters wonder why I am an hoarder

Could this be done heddle loom
Well, my holes in my heddle loom are too small and I could not squeeze in the t-shirt loops to make the warp. But maybe your heddle loom has very large holes where you put in your warp threads?
