We have bought these terrific rugs c.1900-40 in Sweden for many years and sold them in our antiques shop. They were made of many interesting fabrics and perhaps you will see patterns that you recognize from your childhood. Rugs were made for home use and made to last. They wash very well in the washing machine on a cold knit cycle with liquid laundry detergent or better yet, Simple Green which can be bought at hardware stores. Then just lay it flat to dry, but we find they do not need to be washed often, mostly just shook out.

Rag rugs are being made in Sweden to this present day, but the majority of these rugs are pre-1950. You can see many late 1800's fabrics in the weave, old shirts and pajamas. Rag rugs were woven in the home for home use out of mainly cotton scraps that were ripped in long segments, sewn together and folded in half before weaving.

Length of rugs is anywhere from 2' to 30'. The 30 footer though was a wild exception. Expect maximum length to be about 16' which fits most living rooms. A few of the rugs are 25' or so which is great for stairway runners.Most are about 29" wide, the size of the home loom. Strips were laid out in the living area. Check out Carl Larsen prints for examples. Often, strips were sewn together to form one large rug. A few of the rugs which are younger (1940-50) are wider and more under the coffee table size. Little pieces for in front of the sink are survivors from long room sections.

Color and pattern are extraordinary in these rugs. You would think the Navajo's lived next door in many of the rug patterns. Also, traditional Yankee soft stripes. Lovely Scandinavian designs. Amazing workwomanship! Each rug a unique work of art.
