Catalog: Part 6-- Special buys, bargains 
and discontinued items

All of the items on this page are limited to our stock on hand,
so if you have any question about them, please email us before ordering.

Looking for more bargains?
From our storeroom we have begun offering some unique items on Ebay under the user name dgraybooks. These are one-of-a-kind so they are in too short a supply to list on the bargain pages here.
Ebay and website shipments can also be combined to save postage.


Heavy Duty Rug Binding in Bulk!  as low as 12 cents a yard!rug binding
We've seen similar rug binding retailing for $1.00 per yard recently, so take advantage of this great price while the supplies last. This is the canvas type rug binding, 2-1/4 inches wide, bias-cut for heavy duty use. It is ideal for edging rug canvas and can even be used to make dustcatcher and other shag rugs that will stand up to heavy wear. Of course it can be used for lots of other things too, such as awnings, tents and even for woven chair seats.

The only catch is that for the bulk price, you'll need to order a full roll of each color and pay the actual shipping costs. The rolls come with 50 to 70 yards each. Light tan, royal blue, true green and blue-green only. The photo at the right shows the three cool colors used together.

10 yards.....last year's price $3.30...now...$2.80 (that's $.28 per yard)
 50 to 70 yards in one roll............$.20 per yard
100 to 150 yards in two or three rolls.......$.12 per yard

Limit 150 yards per order since that is what will fit in a flat rate priority box for $9.80 shipping.  Other items (books, tools, etc.) can usually fit around the binding in the same box, so most orders can be shipped together for that price. For larger orders of binding in bulk, inquire for UPS shipping rates.

NOTE: WE ARE GETTING LOW ON STOCK
AND WHEN IT'S GONE, IT'S GONE!



Pre-folded rug strip "Seconds".......... $3.50/25-yard skein
Yes, we're human and as we are still getting tooled up after taking back the rug strip folding, we have some goofs that can save you money. These are the same fabrics as our regular pre-folded strip and come in the same 25-yard skeins, but something went wrong during their processing so they aren't perfectly folded. These are really popular and we keep getting cleaned out of them, so email to make sure we have stock available.


Since we are simplifying our lives and focusing only on the rugmaking world, we have discontinued the website about microfiber house cleaning. If you haven't heard about THE most environmentally friendly way to clean, be sure to read our page about it. We have limited stock of the book and cleaning towels remaining and are discounting them 25%. Once our stocks are gone, you can still order the book on amazon or Barnes & Noble online.

Super-Green Clean Microfiber Cleaning Towels

These are the premium variety of microfiber towels with 75% polyester and 25% polyamide. (The more polyamide, the more expensive the towels are to produce and the towels are more absorbent.) Sky blue color only, 16 inches square, with a terry cloth weave. One side has a slightly longer nap than the other, so it is good at reaching into small areas for cleaning in tight places.

Oak Toothbrush Tool Blanks.........SOLD OUT
Yikes, the wood shop that has been supplying us with our oak toothbrush tools suddenly decided that there was a lot more money to be made in custom cabinets and they have stopped making our tools. Of course, we were short on stock when we found that out and have only enough of the finished tools ($7.50 ea.) to take care of the pending orders. We did obtain a small stock of blanks for the tools that just need some finish sanding and shaping around the hole. We tried with a small file and some 300 grit sandpaper and it took us about a half an hour to finish up a blank and have a presentable toothbrush tool. So if you're handy, these will work just fine for you.

Wooden Crochet hook blanks........SOLD OUT
At the woodshop we also found some blanks for the 10-inch wooden crochet hooks that they used to make for us. Like the toothbrush tools, they are in need of hand sanding around the head but are otherwise pretty much done. They are 10mm hooks--about size "P" and work well with crocheted rugs as long as you don't pry with the head. 


Maysville cotton rug warp...very vintage!  small stock found.
