A rug is a piece of thick material that you put on a floor. It is like a carpet, but covers a smaller area.
It can be made out of a variety of materials. It can be woven, knotted or tufted. A tufted rug is made by pushing surface yarns through a primary backing to which a secondary back usually is laminated. This makes it less expensive and more durable than a knotted rug, but not as durable as a woven or knotted rag rug.
A knotted rug is made by hand tying individual threads of wool or other fiber to warp yarns on a loom. It is the most labor-intensive way to make a rug. A hand-knotted rug can be made from any type of thread, including cotton and silk.
In addition to being attractive and functional, rugs can add a touch of warmth and comfort to a space. They can also help to reduce noise. This is important if you live with children or pets or if you have downstairs neighbors.
Making a rug can be a collaborative activity, with textiles shared among a group of people. It can also be a solo endeavor, added to over time as new materials accumulate. In this way, a rug becomes a field for activity that is not just a document of the past—in the case of Haeg’s work, formerly loved T-shirts and fraying bedsheets—but a place where new experiences unfold and a rich history accumulates.
