    Hi Vic,

    Any chance of some photos showing your progress?

    I can remember my mum making a diy wool rug in the fifties and using a strange bakalite chopper which had a razor blade to cut the wool to length (see below). Do people still use them?

    My carer says that her mum made 'rag rugs' and had some sort of a special rug crochet hook to pull lengths of material through? She used old clothes apparently and now my carer accuses my Mum who used rug-wool as being 'posh'!

    I know (before some idiot says it) I could Google 'rug-making' or look it up on YouTube but I'd prefer it first hand off you as I didn't realise rug-making was still a 'thing' and had forgotten all about Mum's rug making!

    Thanks.

    (Yes Keef, I'm also interested in rug-making. Can you have polymaths when there's no polymathematics - or is that only in the USA?)
