Traditional Yorkshire hand-made rag-rugs

Traditional Yorkshire rag-rugs (also known as peg or stob rugs) made in Buckden by Elsie Thornborrow are available at West Winds. Elsie's work won first prize at the 2006 Kilnsey Show, one of the most respected agricultural and rural life shows in the North. Elsie's rugs are produced through hours of painstaking work, hooking strips of mixed cloth through a hessian base. The method has been handed down through generations of Dales people putting unwanted clothing and material to good use. Elsie produces a range of items, including hearth rugs, door rugs and wall hangings. At the moment she is selling door rugs at West Winds.
