“Koome kaltsuvaiba” Veinika Västrik

Rag rugs have been woven in Estonian homes ever since so-called clean rooms were built in sheep barns, the wooden floors of which needed protection and decoration. The colorful stripe magic on the floor creates a coziness in the room even today, which is familiar and at the same time always unique.
The author of the book is Veinika Västrik, an experienced weaving teacher, who has written a short and clear practical tutorial for those who want to weave their first rag rug or learn some simple tricks. Along with many explanatory photos and drawings, the book covers everything important – from cutting strips of cloth and twisting the warp to applying the fabric, binding and knitting.
