It is a kind knit fabric that many use it to make T-shirt, a polyester material and not a cotton material.

Hi.. I recently found your website and I think it is really cool.. I really love this rug and would like to try making it. You have mentioned that you’ve used poly jersey interlock fabric. I’m not familiar with fabrics and tried searching on internet but not able to find out much. I live in Los Anelges, CA area. Would you be able to let me know where I would be able to get this fabric kind of fabric from? Thanks in advance.

It is all depends on the thickness of your t-shirt. T-shirt should be great for looker hooking
As for the width of the strip, you can refer to the Basic Preparation post. Scroll down until you see “Prepare the fabric strips” section.

How interesting! and cute!
I’ve been researching for a craft my 13 year old can start.
I crochet, and I can’t seem to pass that along to her. lol
This seems like something she can do, and have fun with, without
taking a long time to finish a project.

Also I noticed you used jersey to make your rug, and I thought it
had to be cotton. It’s wonderful that you can really use any material
you like to make projects. Since I saw this rug, I’ve seen other projects
with whispy yarn added, beads, buttons, and ribbon.

Thanks for your ideas and tutorials!!

Hi! I absolutely love this tutorial! I’ve never done any lock hooking before but want to start right away with this welcome home door mat, it’s so adorable!
I have a question though…I have been doing some research on lock hooking canvas and they have a whole bunch of mesh sizes (squares per inch), what is the size you used on your rug? Also, can I use a plastic canvas?

Thank you and LOVE your website!
