Why, was it some sort of perverse punishment?
Wow this brought back memories
My aunt had these! She didn’t become a grandma til 2007!
They’re also popular with truck drivers.
Damn, this almost made me cry
I miss u Granny!!!
I think I still have one somewhere.
I love them because they remind me of my gammy, who always had them in her kitchen. Now I have them in mine.
My gran used to make these.
My granny used to make them out of scrap cloth. She also used to make braided rugs.
This is literally in front of my bathroom sink rn 😂
This is the rug at every cabin we went to while on vacation, usually near a lake.
It’s the same rug I had in kindergarten 1968 that we had to nap on.
had these in my dorm room 25 years ago
Naptime rug has entered the ring!
My grandma would power walk through the craft fairs only to pause at the booths with these rugs. She honestly loved them. Any craft sale that didn’t have these was not a “true” craft sale.
Is there a name or term for these kinds of rugs? I’d like to look up how to make them!
Where can you get them now? I never find them anymore.
Those nubs felt so good on bare feet.
We had a cat that would tear this rug up and my Mom would straighten it out 100 times a day. I would’ve thrown it out but I think my Mom got a laugh out of the game. Definitely made the cat happy to plow through the nicely laid rug and turn it into a tangled wad.
not exactly: your grandma training was complete after you made one
Got a few of our own. Is it just me, or anyone else find it cool/weird how these are all around the world? 😀
My Granny had these in every doorway 😭
Yes! My kindergarten nap rug in the 80s.
I had it and used it up until recently when I gave it a wash and it came apart. I keep hoping there’s some way to save it, so I’ve just kept it in a bag until sky daddy magically implants knowledge of sewing, of which I know nothing and own no tools for, into my brain. Should be any day now I reckon.
I had one very similar to this as a ‘nap rug’ for kindergarten in the early ‘70s. (There was like a 30 minute or some such nap time, or relax time, in our kindergarten class)
Thanks for the reminder!
One?
We had one of those.
What about the cut glass bowl full of hard candies all stuck together?
Inmates line their cell floors with these. They can buy them from the commissary
I was in a small town Walmart recently and they had these on the end cap. My question was do they only sell these in small/rural towns?
I wonder who manufactured these and why they were so popular? Totally remember theses.
They also were popular seat covers in 90s cars too. At least in my area.
Edit:
#People! I have used Google Lens and now know what these rugs are called!
#They are Rag Rugs.
Huh interesting, I actually made one of these.
Or stoners of the 00’s. I saw these in every college apartment.
Facts
Here’s one at Wal-Mart for [$6 USD ](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Multi-Color-Rag-Rug/594180546?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=388&adid=22222222278594180546_117755028669_12420145346&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=501107745824&wl4=aud-1651068664746:pla-294505072980&wl5=9026131&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=594180546&wl13=388&veh=sem_LIA&gclid=CjwKCAjwgqejBhBAEiwAuWHioOg4dI_WKZW-jp8-rhBqsA_fMuils92vWCss5CAdhT0I1FBNFSy0FhoCz_YQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)
They call it a multicolor rag rug.
Oh Jesus, my mother had one of these at the kitchen sink and another at the back door
My parents had one when I was way too young to make them grandparents. I wonder if one of my grandmothers gave it to them.
They issued to them mother’s and grandmothers in the 50’s and 60’s.
We have some of those lol 😂
My parents had a big, round one and a bunch of the smaller ones. They had a description of the construction of them in one of the “Little House” books and I always wanted to try making one, myself.
*looks over at said rug i inherited from my grandmother* 😂😂
Using up those old bits of yarn or fabric. I think most of these were hand made lol
Fun story. In the late 80s my aunt, who was quite poor, lucked into a lease for a house big enough for her and her kids. The owner had died and the heirs were renting it out while they settled the estate. The old man, who was a widower, fell and hit his head and died in his kitchen. When my aunt got possession a few weeks later, this rug was still in the kitchen, with a pretty good bloodstain on it from the old man’s head wound. It wasn’t too much because he had had a stroke or heart attack, which caused his fall, and he didn’t bleed that much before his heart stopped. She took it to the laundromat and washed it on hot and flipped it over when she got home to hide the residual stain, because, hey, free rug.
My grandmother would lay one of these down when I stayed there since I had to sleep on the floor. It didn’t help at all, but this brought back memories. I remember the colors being more vivid though.
slipped and fell on one of these breaking my head open on a metal chair leg, mom never got rid of it.
My dad used to buy these all the time. I now have all 30 of them. I would never use them cause they were my dads. I lost him five years ago. Love you daddy
I had one of these (got it from grandma, surprise surprise) for nap time in kindergarten back in 1979. Yep. We had to lay on the floor on rugs.
No, that was the nap rug for kindergarten in the early 90s.
my god, I had forgotten these existed… I prolly need to make a doctor appointment. getting older is fun..
