Country Braided Rugs

Country braided rugs got started in the early days of America's pioneering past when living conditions were harsh and very little could be wasted. These early settlers found ways to construct practical floor coverings that were both durable and warm by reusing virtually any discarded fabric. That kind of hardscrabble resourcefulness was characteristic of communities af the time and a source of great pride even today.

The rugs were both practical and durable and in a time of scarce resources could be made out of virtually any available material. Old coats, dresses and blankets often ended up as braided rugs.
