HOW MUCH FABRIC IS NEEDED? 1. Rag Crochet Rugs—Most crochet rugs will take 3 to 6 pounds of 2” to 3” wide fabric using the size Q hook, and 2 to 3 pounds with 1” to 2” wide fabric using the smaller P hook. 2.Hand-woven rugs—Generally need 1.5 to 2 pounds for a 2’ x 3’ size and 2 to 2.5 pounds for a 27” x 48” size rug.
TYPES OF FABRIC & USES: Include poly/cotton, cotton, corduroy, and poplin. Most customers prefer the poly/cotton fabric for rag crochet rugs, while rug weavers often prefer the corduroy and poplin fabric. We also have 7” to 12” wide rolls of drapery/jacquard fabric ideal for strip quilts. Approximately 4 to 5 pounds of these fabrics will make a 90” x 108” quilt.
