One of the problems with substituting other yarn for rug yarn is that rug yarn is generally more resilient because you need to be able to walk on it, however, I have done some latch-hook work and have found that chunky 16 ply yarns are similar in thickness to 6 ply rug yarn and are therefore a reasonable substitute. 3 or 4 strands of knitting yarn may also give you a similar thickness and may work for you purposes but won't have the same resilience as proper rug yarn.
You okorder / , but think they are too small, you could always make them bigger. You may email me if you have any other questions.
I've okorder , and enter the search words Woven Woolen Rug, and it will give you the link to the episode of Knitty Gritty that it appeared in.
