Rugs, rugs and more rugs


I, sometimes, supervise in person, in South America, the making of these custom needlepoint area rugs for my clients from the National Capital Region. This activity of wool rug making sustains about two thousand adult women who can work from home, raise their families and live with dignity.
It all started about 40 years ago with a dream of a local woman. I was there to see.
This rug pictured above is named "Lilies". It is part of the floral line. These special rugs can be ordered in various size, colour and pattern to suit a decor.
A great decorating feature cherished by interior designers all over the planet. Now, in Ottawa as well. They are practical and easy to keep and clean. Best is to let it face down over fresh snow. Once every two years, if it really needs. Natural wool has Lanolin that repels dirt.
Ever seen a dirty lamb?
