Popularized in the 1800s, it takes its name from the 17th-century Sieur de Catalan. Initially, this weaving technique was a necessity in Quebec due to the scarcity of new cloth, later becoming a staple in Madawaska County, NB, Aroostook County, Maine, and Ontario [1, 2, 3, 4]. The technique uses a cotton warp and combines it with recycled rags—often old clothes and tapestries cut into strips—to create durable, typically striped, functional fabrics.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Inabstracto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46765324763321,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1804\/7229\/files\/CBCF0E9E-7AB8-4815-83C6-9D1369379728.jpg?v=1775050997","url":"https:\/\/inabstracto.com\/products\/catalogne-rug","provider":"Inabstracto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
