I just bought it since I had never seen any loom parts for sale here and figured $15 was worth not having to make them if I ever wanted to try. We have acres of milkweed and dogbane; I have pondered possibly trying to harvest them for fiber one day. I imagine it was used for rugs as well. The threads appear to be a coarse cotton. I don't know it's history. Rag rugs were a big fad here a few decades ago, maybe it was used for that. We also have acres of broomsage...I may try to make mats from that, but it's not an urgent project at the moment.
