Description:

Shirret Rug Making Shirret (pronounced ¿sure ¿ ray¿) is a old time rug making technique which combines shirring and crochet. Shirret is a great way to recycle all types of fabric into rugs and mats. Using shirret technique, fabric is first cut into ¾ inch wide strips. These strips are shirred onto a special needle, and are then crocheted off the needle, on edge, creating a thick, durable mat. In this class students will learn how to create a small shirret mat using wool fabric. The technique can then be used to create a variety of items utilizing recycled fabrics. Materials including a shirret hook, cord and wool fabric will be provided. A current knowledge of basic crochet is a requirement. This workshop is limited to the first 8 people who enroll. This workshop is brought to you through a partnership with Traditional Arts in Upstate New York (TAUNY) located in Canton, NY.
