This rug has international roots- knitted masterpieces made by German knitting guilds as well as Native American tapestries inspired the design. The larger color areas are knit as-you-go, and the smaller motifs are embroidered as a finishing touch.
Instructions are included to hang this with a dowel or curtain rod to use for a wall hanging.
Yarn: bulky weight wool yarn: black 875 yd/800m, natural 350 yd/320m, turquoise 350 yd/320m, red 350 yd/320m
Original rug knit with: 5 skeins color: Silent Night and 2 skeins each of colors: Jaffa Beach, Bedouin Blue, and Red Sea
Example photo included of using the small bird chart for a fringe-edged pillow (to match or not)
