Handwoven Rag Rugs in Cotton and Colorful Stripes
Rag rugs are one of the oldest and most loved rug traditions. They are made by weaving strips of fabric into a sturdy, flat rug with a soft, textured surface. Our rag rug collection includes handwoven cotton rag rugs, colorful striped rag rugs and long rag rug runners. They bring warmth, color and a relaxed feel to farmhouse, boho, coastal and cottage-style homes.
What Is a Rag Rug?
A rag rug is a flatweave rug woven from strips of fabric, usually cotton, on a loom. The fabric strips create natural color variation, so no two stretches of stripes look exactly the same. Rag rugs are thin, flexible and often reversible. They are made to handle everyday foot traffic in busy rooms.
Why Choose a Cotton Rag Rug?
- Handwoven texture: woven fabric strips give each rug a soft, nubby feel underfoot
- Durable flatweave: a tight, flat construction made for kitchens, hallways and entryways
- Reversible: many rag rugs can be flipped for even wear and a longer life
- Easy care: shake out, vacuum or spot clean. Smaller sizes are often washable, so check each product’s care instructions
- Naturally colorful: mixed fabric strips create one-of-a-kind color blends
Rag Rug Styles
- Striped rag rugs: classic horizontal color bands in pastel, ivory and gray
- Colorful rag rugs: bright, multi-color summer stripes for a cheerful room
- Patchwork rag rugs: mixed color blocks for an eclectic, boho look
- Kilim-style rag rugs: flat, vintage-inspired patterns that pair well with our Kilim Rugs
