Rag Rug History: A rag rug is woven in a loom of elements of carpet rags and warp such as cotton or linen thread, or simply cut up rags. Plain weave and twill are  the usual weaving techniques and stitching yarn floats that provide reversible rugs where the back is reversed towards the front.
Variationsmöjligheterna i mönsterrapporterna är obegränsade och beror på grad av fantasi och tillgång till trasor.The variation in the pattern that is repeated is unlimited and depends on the degree of imagination of the maker and the access to rags. För att öka variationsmöjligheterna kan varpen varieras med olikfärgade trådar som ger effekter i mattorna. To increase the possibilities for variation the warp was varied with different colored threads at once that give a different effect to the mats.  Mattor vars inslag utgörs av stränggarn med ovan nämnda vävtekniker kan ibland gå under begreppet trasmattor, men borde heta bara mattor eller stränggarnsmattor.The rugs were a great asset for the often drafty floors in the Swedish country homes.
