Come and learn how to make a lovely rug using the Amish knot
or toothbrush rugmaking technique!
What’s most impressive about this method is that it uses fabric strips cut
off from old linen or fabrics, saving them from landfill and giving them
a new life. It’s quite addictive so soon you might be trawling op shops
in search for pretty prints and bright colours in bed sheets!
No experience necessary.
