Teardrop rag rug proddy

This tool is used to push short lengths of wool or fabric through a hessian (burlap) backing to give a shaggy finish to the rug, cushion or wallhanging.

The wool or rag is cut to a length of about 75 to 100mm (3in to 4in) and, working from the back, a hole is made in the hessian and half of the rag strip is pushed through. A second hole is made four or five threads away from the previous hole and the other end of the strip is pushed through.

Repeat this every four or five threads.

Made from yew or cherry wood this beautiful proddy is very comfortable in use.
