Are you ready to get raggy? Raggy enough to start this fun, traditional rug making craft called Amish Toothbrush? This is a simple technique that involves stitching with ripped up rags (in this case cotton) and building your rug in rows with the same, simple stitch.  

Remember how toothbrushes used to come with a hole in the bottom? Women would cut of the handle, dull it to a point, and thread rags through the hole to create these colorful and practical rugs. 

This class will come with the hardwood Amish Toothbrush tool, and a bag of colorful long quarters of hand-dyed cottons to get you ripping and 'toothbrushing'. You can choose between an oval or a circle rug. Get the hard part done in class, and finish at your leisure.
