Giant Crochet Floor Rug - Work in Progress


The making of my rugs is a lengthy process. Here is the 11 meters of Indian cotton in it's raw form. The whole roll of this material will be used to make a rug that is 1100 mm x 900 mm.  



The fabric is first cut into strips and then crocheted into rug. Cutting of the fabric is the most lengthy process as this material is very hard and it needs to be cut manually. This is a very durable material that is just so very soft for children to sit on and it does make a conversation piece for anyone visiting your home. The making of the whole rug takes 28 hours.


The very last ball of fabric finishes off the rug!

Giant Crochet Floor Rug - work in progress

Rug is slowly coming along. I am crocheting this rug using two strips of fabric, both 100% cotton, one is thick calico and the other is Indian Rib cotton. The calico helps Indian cotton stay in place.  Here is the first preview:
