There was a thread on here a couple of months back about using shaved toothbrush to sew/crochet them. You can also use a super large crochet hook to crochet one. I've made a circular one this way. Maybe someone knows where the thread is.

I bought a loom from Country Threads with instruction and a video several years ago but have not made a rug yet. You work with 2 strips going over and under with each strip. I bought it to use up my stash. Ha!

Donna, you can also braid them Years ago......like 40 years....I braided room size rugs from wool. I got wool clothing at the thrift store. I folded the raw edges in as I braided. I hand sewed the braid using carpet thread. Try different ways and see which method you like best.
