Hit or Miss is a very traditional technique method of recycling the smallest of leftover pieces of fabric. Because of this it is very labor intensive. I usually fillet 50 or 60 shirts to get a nice big batch of colors. Those are then cut into strips. I hate waste so some of the pieces are as short as four inches. This means I am able to do only one or two hit or miss batches per year. I love the festival of colors and the honoring of traditional techniques.
All my rugs are woven on a large vintage rug loom built in 1942. The whole house shakes when I am weaving. The designs are my own and buying I have won several awards for my work. I use all recycled materials in my wefts and either cotton or polyester warp. My rugs are machine washable in warm or cool. It is best to line dry. Give the fringe a good shake to straighten it and hang over a clothesline or rail. This rug will last a good many years with a bit of care.
Shipping is included on this rug when sent within the contiguous United States. All others please contact seller for rate.
The Cute little boy in the picture is my beloved late husband Puck (1951-2016) going off to Kindergarten with his little rug, little realizing how many hundreds of rugs he would later haul after hitching up with this weaver
