How easy is his for a 7 year old to use? Can I buy a spare tool ?** A: No the hessian isn't already hemmed but very easy to do. Just fold over on edges and work through two layers of hessian when pulling material through. I am not sure a 7 year old child would find this easy to do .A spare tool can be purchased. It is a relaxing hobby to do. **Q: Hi, is this tool made in china, or another country using exploitative labour? or is it made in the uk?** A: Hi, thank you for your question. I'm pleased to tell you we make all the tools we sell ourselves here in the UK. We are a small, family business based in Cornwall. We hope that's useful. **Q: Is the hessian washable? Hand or machine?** A: I made mine a number of years ago using cheap throws. I have washed it in a washing machine lots of times and it’s fine, just make sure you buns the age so it doesn’t fray.. **Q: will cats pull a rag rug apart.** A: Hi, thanks for your enquiry. The secret to making a durable rag rug is to pack the bits of cloth tightly together, in the weave of the hessian backcloth, as this means each will be firmly gripped and the ends will stand up close together. Therefore cats claws, or puppies teeth, will catch more than one end and the bits of cloth will support each other. Well made rag rugs are so durable there are still some made in Victorian times in usable condition. If in any doubt a handy tip is to make the rug using thick cloth which will really fill the backcloth weave as tightly as possible. Hope this is helpful. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality British tool *by A***R on 30 January 2024* Very good quality, UK made tool. It feels robust and comfortable to handle, and pulls through tough denim fabric securely and easily. I like that it was delivered as a starter kit with hessian and cutting guide so you can get straight onto a new project. I can see hours of crafting fun ahead! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My New Hobby! *by T***I on 16 February 2025* I decided to fill my time with a new hobby so chose rug making which my mum used to do a 100 years ago. I loved it as soon as I received my rag rug kit which included a good piece of hessien and a sturdy tool to pull the medium I chose to use through the small holes in the hessien as well as 1 other item, possibly 2. I used the piece of hessien I recieved to create a graduated woolen rug for under the kitchen sink which is colourful and fun and similar but not exactly like the larger rug I created since for the centre of the kitchen. I buy the much larger hessien bits from my local haberdashery and am currently in the middle of making a big rug for my boudoir. All this started from a tool I recieved in an Amazon kit, THANK YOU AMAZON, there's NOBODY like you X! Just PLEASE ease up on P&P costs as they're way and above what I can afford and I can't do Prime either! Other then that you are BOSS! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Three Stars *by M***E on 12 November 2016* ok ## Frequently Bought Together - Makings Traditional Rag Rug Kit - Rag Rug Techniques for Beginners: 30 planet-friendly projects using rag-rugging methods from around the world - An Introduction to Rag Rugs - Creative Recycling (Crafts) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48766702-makings-traditional-rag-rug-kit](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48766702-makings-traditional-rag-rug-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
