Rug Gauge 125mm (5 inch)

For big, fluffy, and seriously satisfying rag rugs, our 5" (125 mm) Rug Gauge is the tool you’ll reach for time and time again. It helps you cut longer fabric strips so your finished rug looks full, soft, and wonderfully textured — perfect for statement pieces or larger projects.

Why You’ll Love It

• Ideal for Larger Rugs – Creates long, plush loops for that classic rag rug look.
• Perfectly Even Strips – Every cut is consistent, giving your rug a balanced, professional finish.
• Fast & Foolproof – Wrap, slice, and you’re ready to start pulling strips through your hessian base.
• Sturdy Build – Made from high-quality MDF, sanded smooth with clear edges for safe, easy handling.

How It Works

1. Wrap your fabric around the gauge widthways several times.
2. Cut along one edge with sharp scissors or a rotary cutter.
