Pip Lincolne has a fun and crazy (and I bet soft) pom pom rug project in the latest issue of Frankie Magazine - that I'm loving! She says it's "easier than skinning a fraggle" (not sure what that is - but we believe her) and is made with obviously a heap of pom poms attached to a piece of hessian (which I think in North American terms is either burlap or sisal). Whatever the case it's a fun piece and one I wouldn't mind wiggling my toes into first thing in the morning. I grabbed my digital issue of Frankie Magazine from Zinio. Click here to pick up a copy.

Will have to express ship the latest copy of Frankie to get the particulars stat. Just looking at it makes one smile!
Also, these are the only Fraggles I know of (rather sinister, eh? *laughs*):

And hessian is a really heavy brown, scratchy, hairy, canvassy fabric - it's made into sacks to carry really heavy things ... like lots of potatoes maybe. I think it's like burlap, like you said.
I'm in Australia and picked up my copy of Frankie yesterday - Pip's crazy rug is a must-make, it looks so fun and awesome! Cat
ps, like the new look too :)
pip - wow you!!!!
It is - it's from Australia, but you can buy a digital copy - like I did through Zinio. Just go to Zinio.com and then search for Frankie Magazine. You might be able to also find a printed copy at magazine stores.
I think i will try it with black white and grey wool!
