| What do you mean by "swatches"? |
 |
Swatches of your colors may include anything that will fit in a business size envelope. These may include a piece of wallpaper, paint chips, yarns, cloth . . . anything that will show the colors you plan to have in your rag rug. |

|
| Why are color swatches necessary? |
|
I work directly from actual colors swatches to ensure that your rag rug will have the closest match to your personal decor. |

|
| What materials are used in my rug? |
|
Sturdy 100% cotton rug warp and cotton/cotton blend weft fabric. |

| How are the rag rugs woven? |
See my description |
After the loom is dressed with the appropriate warp (lengthwise) strings, the cotton fabric for the weft (crosswise) is cut into 2 inch wide strips. The process of weaving beats and compacts these strips into tight, narrow bands that create the solid fabric of the rag rug. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Are the rugs washable? |
|
Absolutely! Machine wash your rag rug separately in plenty of warm water and regular detergent without bleach. After removing it from the machine give it a good shake and hang it horizontally on the clothesline to prevent stretching. |

|
|
| How long will my rug last? |
|
Forever . . . with average use and laundering. They wear like iron. In fact, I'll prove it to serious customers. I will send you a small woven sample upon request (see order form). Wash, line dry it, and use it as a mug rug. See how well my product holds up! |

|
|
| Is a deposit required? |
|
Yes. I must spend a considerable amount of money and time to complete each rug so I need to have a solid confirmation of the order. |
