Dream Packer Rugs: January 2025

Do you want a one-of-a-kind hand crafted work of art rug? Take a step back in time with my crocheted rag rugs. Many are inspired by the wild and timeless landscapes of Wyoming and Utah.

I use a variety of textures, colors and thicknesses. Natural imperfections add personality and make each rug distinctive.

These rugs are made from recycled sheets and fabrics which are carefully washed and stripped. Colors and patterns are then mixed to create a unique rug. Imagine having a beautiful, rustic rug that you can walk on or hang on a wall. They make wonderful bathroom rugs, especially the extra thick “ridged” ones.

Most are washable, even machine washable. (but only on a delicate hand wash cycle). Lay flat or hang to dry, block into shape while slightly damp.

The price for a “Random” colored rug, either oval, round or rectangular, done is 6.5 cents per square inch. Thus, an oval rug would be slightly less than rectangular of the same dimensions.

For example a rug, 24 inches by 36 inches would be $56. Custom colors and/or sizing add $10 or 15%, whichever is more. Customized 24 x 36 = $66. (Allow 3-4 weeks for creation.)

Price for a patterned rug is 7.5 cents per square inch. For example, a 24 x 36” rug done in a Southwest or Red Rock pattern would be $64. Customized would be $74.

Most rugs are done in 1.5 to 2 inch strips. Some are still done in 1" strips but are not lower in price.

Appliquéd patterns such as a Moose or Horse, add $20-30 for each applique depending on pattern. Keep in mind, the appliquéd rugs are not machine washable and are considered Art Rugs.

Right now I have some for sale or custom order. Occasionally, I have rugs that are "seconds", that is slightly misshapen or have been "stepped" on a few times. These are available at a discount. The rugs listed on this site before November 19, 2019 are all discounted to my previous prices.

Think you would like to try making your own? Refer to "Rug Making Hints" (Link listed above just under the blog heading) However, in the words of several who I have tutored, "It's not as easy as it looks!"
