Learn about this sustainable textile practice from 4thgen needleworker & nationally recognized fiber artist Cookie Washington ($45 mat fee).

Rag crochet is a sustainable textile practice that transforms old clothing, sheets, and fabric scraps into “yarn,” which is then crocheted into rugs, mats, totes, and baskets using large hooks and simple stitches. With historical connections to early African and Egyptian textile traditions, rag crochet combines creativity, durability, and environmental mindfulness. In this class, students will learn how to prepare fabric strips and crochet them into sturdy, textured forms. This accessible technique requires minimal equipment and no prior crochet experience, making it an ideal entry point into sustainable fiber art. For ages 13+, no experience necessary.

Torreah “Cookie” Washington is a fourth-generation needleworker and nationally recognized fiber artist based in Goose Creek, SC. Her work centers African American textile traditions, ancestral memory, and environmental responsibility through art quilts, Gullah rag rugs, basketry, and sculptural textile forms.
Fee: $72 (Eventbrite) + $45 materials fee to be paid directly to instructor on day of class.

Toothbrush Rag Rug & Basket Making (Amish Knot Technique)
2026-09-02 14:00 - 18:00 | Park Circle Community Buidling, 4800 Park Circle, North Charleston, SC 29405, North Charleston, SC, 29405, US
Learn about this no-sew textile technique from 4th-gen needleworker & nationally recognized fiber artist, Cookie Washington ($45 mat fee).

The Toothbrush Rug—also known as the Amish Knot or Coil Rug—is a no-sew textile technique that uses fabric strips looped and knotted into strong, durable forms. Historically, makers repurposed worn toothbrush handles into tools, threading fabric through a small hole to create rugs built from the center outward. In this beginner-friendly workshop, students will learn the half-hitch knot technique and create an oval rug base. Participants will then learn how to transform that base into a basket. This versatile skill can be applied to rugs, baskets, placemats, seat pads, coasters, and more. These rugs are exceptionally durable, often lasting decades, and can typically be machine washed and dried. For ages 13+, no experience necessary.
