Nadine Leech
Handmade Proddy and hooky rag rugs. Rag rug making was once a common pastime for working people in town and country. Nadine follows tradition, using sacking for the foundation and recycled clothing for the pile, in natural fibres such as felted wool or soft cotton jersey. Proddies are deep and shaggy; hookies have a looped pile and are hard wearing. They are worked completely by hand using minimal resources. Quirky and colourful, these rugs have a welcoming, homely charm.
