Handwoven rag rug firewood carrier.

Packable and machine washable this log tote is great for home, cabin, lake, RV or tent camping. Handwoven on my rug loom this rag rug firewood carrier or log sling can be used to supply wood or kindling for fireplaces, fire pits and bonfires.

Each carrier measures 20 inches wide by 36 inches in length, with the nylon webbing straps providing a drop of 11 inches.

I’m not sure why, several years ago, the idea of a firewood/log carrier came to me, but I do know that I had just taken three lengths of rag rug woven pieces off my rug loom that did not say “tote bag” to me, which is the collection I was working on at the time. The other lengths in this warp did say totes and had linings and straps added and large tote bags were assembled. But these three rather rustic, bumpy, not as I had envisioned pieces did not want to be tote bags.

Somewhere along the way, after I discarded the idea of making them into unlined bags, I had this one yard length of rag rug with handles - too small for a picnic blanket or a yoga mat, too big and open for most harvesting from the garden. But wait, what about picking up all the small dead limbs from our walnut tree? Every spring there are small limbs scattered beneath this tree. Great kindling once it’s gathered, it’s the gathering part that’s frustrating - do you just pick up what you can carry in your arms, find a bucket or box to gather it in? And if you’re taking it inside who wants some dirty old bucket getting mud on the carpet?

So, I added handles to the other two and threw all three in the car for an across the state trip to see family. Both households got their pick and put them to use to not only pick up limbs but move their stacked firewood into the house or to their fire pit. Success! These odd pieces had found their calling. Not only did I find homes for my prototypes, but I came home with a box of remnants that had been included in an estate auction as part of a package deal. Fast forward to today and that yardage, of large checks of black and white with roosters, has been reborn as a firewood/log carrier.

Easily packed for travel to your favorite fishing or hunting cabin, vacation, lake home or even just a late afternoon picnic in the park.A unique housewarming, Father’s Day or grooms men gift.

Easy care - just shake it out and throw in the washer and dryer as needed. Like a rag rug this carrier is made to hold up to regular use and cleaning.
