			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To make a shirred rag rug, strips of wool must be gathered, then they&#8217;re shirred in coils or rows with thread.  This is not the same as a sewn shag rug in which gathered strips of fabric are stitched to a base fabric.  </p>
<p>Shirred <a href="http://www.shopcontemporaryarearugs.com">contemporary area rugs</a> have very rich, deep textures and are reversible.  The traditional shirred rugs can be made by using several different techniques.  In exact shirring, the folds of fabric radiate from a center or line up in rows, while faux shirring is different in that the folds of fabric are laid round the rug in a sequence of &#8220;s&#8221; shapes instead of radiating from the center.  </p>
<p>The different shirring strategies are described below.  </p>
<p>Stitched Center Shirring : this kind of shirring is the oldest sort of shirred rugs and are quite straightforward to construct.  This method is done by taking strips of fabric and working them onto a thread, then going in an out to supply folds along the thread.  The shirred sections are then coiled and stitched to create the rug.  </p>
<p>crocheted Center Shirring : There are two versions of this kind of shirred rug which are accomplished by a knitted action whereby fabric strips are shirred onto a long thin afghan type of crochet hook.  </p>
<p>The 1st method of this type of shirring is named the &#8220;hump-back hook&#8221; or &#8220;bent&#8221; hook method.  A specially bent, long thin crochet hook is used to shirr the fabric and each fold of fabric is worked off together with a double crochet stitch or a combination of a single crochet and a chain stitch.  The fold is then attached to the rug as it is worked.  This crocheted shirring methodology is considered the most sophisticated of the strategies.  Different hump-back crochet hooks have been marked over the years that are referred to as the &#8220;Schirren&#8221; hook, the &#8220;Shirret&#8221; hook, or &#8220;Art rug Needle.&#8221; </p>
<p>The second sort of shirring method is the afghan hook strategy.  This is done using fabric strips which are shirred onto an afghan ( or bent ) hook.  Then the folds of the fabric are worked off and secured to form a chain stitch.  This leads to a long strip of shirred fabric, which is then coiled to form the rugs and secured by sewing or crocheting with a steel crochet hook.  This method of crocheted shirring is the best for a beginner to do.  </p>
<p>Edge Shirring : this method is done along one edge of a strip of fabric rather than in the middle.  The rugs are typically scrub and have to have a spacing strip to permit the rug to stay horizontal.  </p>
<p>Mono-shirring : This method is used to create a thick mat or blanket by using a single giant piece of wool fabric which is gathered along many threads.  </p>
<p>pretend Shirring : this kind of shirring is generally simpler than the regular shirred methods and have the same deep texture and are also reversible.  Wool strips are stitched together with a fold at each stitch.  The difference between faux shirring and shirred rugs is the folds of fabric lay around the exterior of the rug, while in regular shirring the folds spread out from the center.  </p>
<p>The three main systems of making faux shirred rugs are described below.  </p>
<p>Needle and thread : A long sewing needle is utilized in this technique which is quite similar to the development of standing wool rugs.  The difference is that each stitch is secured with a folded section of fabric.  </p>
<p>Awl stitched : this strategy is done with an awl and contains a loop of thread that secures each fold of fabric.  Various devices have been made use of to form these rugs, including the &#8220;texing&#8221; needle.  </p>
<p>crocheted : These are made with a tiny steel crochet hook, with one crochet stitch securing each one of the folds.  Since this strategy is simple to do, it is quite simple to make patterns in the rug.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re wondering what size rug you should get to put under a certain size table, it is best to permit two feet on all sides of the table.  This enables the person to sit at the table with the chairs completely on the rugs.  Therefore , with a 4&#8242; wide by 7&#8242; long table, you&#8217;d need a rug that&#8217;s roughly 8&#8242;x eleven&#8217;.  </p>
<p>Patrons regularly question whether or not they should use rug padding with a latex back hooked rug.  In such a situation, you&#8217;d need padding because padding protects your floor from the latex and it&#8217;ll also ensure that the rug will last longer.  The purpose of hooked rugs with latex backing is to provide sturdiness as the latex secures the wool and adds body to the rug, but the backing doesn&#8217;t keep the rug from sliding, neither does it hold it in place .  </p>
<p>Many people like to employ a rug in their entryway.  Due to the foot traffic in this area, you must employ a rug that&#8217;s durable and simple to wash.  Folks track in all kinds of elements from the outside, mud, grass, snow, water.  With this kind of abuse, you definitely need a rug with a simple care quality.  A type that works really well is a flat platted rug where polypropylene is the major part.  The artificial fiber of polypropylene is terribly simple to care for and the flat braided rugs are extremely sturdy.  Dirt simply sits on this smooth polypropylene fiber until it is vacuumed or rinsed away.  Thus, the rug does not have to be cleaned professionally.  In fact these platted rugs aren&#8217;t only sturdy, but are available in a wide variety of colours, one of which is bound to blend well with your interior.  </p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve a room that serves as both a living room and dining room, you might either use the same rug in both areas or use two different rugs that look nice when used together.  The important thing to keep in mind is to choose a similar style or use 2 different styles with like colours to maintain a uniform look.  A room that&#8217;s decorated quite simply will look nice with 2 different rugs which are made of solid fabrics with little colors.  For example an Oriental rug would look nice under the dining table, along with a coordinating braided rug in the living area.  However, if your room is more intricately decorated,eg with different patterns in the furniture and window coverings, using the same rug in both areas will join the room nicely.  </p>
<p>When making reference to platted rugs, you have likely seen or heard the terms &#8220;tubular&#8221; braids and &#8220;flat&#8221; braids.  The difference between the 2 is as follows : Tubular platted rugs are made from felt or manmade core and covered with yarn ( These aren&#8217;t really platted, but merely wound around the core.  ) Flat braids are made from solid materials that are braided in a traditional style, which looks nicer, wears better, and lasts longer than the other type.  </p>
<p>If you have a new home or want to redecorate a whole kids room, it is best to purchase your <a href="http://www.cutekidsarearugs.com">kids area rugs</a> before purchasing your furniture, because you need to start from the bottom and work up.  As you are potentially aware, there are lots of more furniture styles and colors, as well are more selections of fabrics for furniture than there are with braided rugs, hooked rugs or other styles of rugs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To create a shirred rag rug, strips of wool must be gathered, then they are shirred in coils or rows with thread.  This is different from a stitched shag rug in which gathered strips of fabric are stitched to a base fabric.  </p>
<p>Shirred <a href="http://www.shopcontemporaryarearugs.com">contemporary area rugs</a> have very rich, deep textures and are reversible.  The normal shirred rugs can be put together by trying several different techniques.  In tangible shirring, the folds of fabric radiate from a center or line up in rows, whereas faux shirring is different in the folds of fabric are laid around the rug in a sequence of &#8220;s&#8221; shapes instead of radiating from the center.  </p>
<p>The different shirring strategies are described below.  </p>
<p>Sewn Center Shirring : this type of shirring is the oldest sort of shirred rugs and are quite easy to construct.  This strategy is done by taking strips of fabric and working them onto a thread, then going in an out to provide folds along the thread.  The shirred sections are then coiled and stitched to create the rug.  </p>
<p>knitted Center Shirring : There are 2 versions of this type of shirred rug which are accomplished by a knitted action whereby fabric strips are shirred onto a long thin afghan sort of crochet hook.  </p>
<p>The first system of this type of shirring is named the &#8220;hump-back hook&#8221; or &#8220;bent&#8221; hook technique.  A specifically bent, long thin crochet hook is used to shirr the fabric and each fold of fabric is worked off along with a double crochet stitch or a combo of a single crochet and a chain stitch.  The fold is then attached to the rug as it is worked.  This crocheted shirring methodology is regarded the most sophisticated of the strategies.  Different hump-back crochet hooks have been marked over time that are referred to as the &#8220;Schirren&#8221; hook, the &#8220;Shirret&#8221; hook, or &#8220;Art rug Needle.&#8221; </p>
<p>The second sort of shirring strategy is the afghan hook strategy.  This is done using fabric strips which are shirred onto an afghan ( or bent ) hook.  Then the folds of the fabric are worked off and secured to form a chain stitch.  This results in a long strip of shirred fabric, which is then coiled to make the rugs and secured by sewing or knitting with a steel crochet hook.  This strategy of crocheted shirring is the best for a newbie to accomplish.  </p>
<p>Edge Shirring : this strategy is done along one edge of a strip of fabric instead of in the middle.  The rugs are normally scrub and need to have a spacing strip to allow the rug to stay horizontal.  </p>
<p>Mono-shirring : This method is used to create a thick mat or blanket by trying a single big piece of wool fabric which is gathered along many threads.  </p>
<p>faux Shirring : this kind of shirring is usually simpler than the regular shirred methods and have the same deep texture and are also reversible.  Wool strips are stitched along with a fold at every stitch.  The difference between faux shirring and shirred rugs is that the folds of fabric lay around the exterior of the rug, whereas in regular shirring the folds spread out from the center.  </p>
<p>The three main systems of creating faux shirred rugs are described below.  </p>
<p>Needle and thread : A long sewing needle is used in this technique which is quite similar to the construction of standing wool rugs.  The difference is that each stitch is secured with a folded section of fabric.  </p>
<p>Axe stitched : this strategy is done with an awl and contains a loop of thread that secures each fold of fabric.  Numerous devices have been employed to make these rugs, including the &#8220;texing&#8221; needle.  </p>
<p>knitted : These are created with a small steel crochet hook, with one crochet stitch securing every one of the folds.  Since this technique is straightforward to do, it is kind of straightforward to form patterns within the rug.</p>
