Congratulations to our lucky winner, Tori!
Denim rugs are great for the same reason you love your favorite pair of jeans — they go with nearly anything, and they wear really well! Nearly all of the rugs from Annikki's Weaving Studio are from recycled materials — old clothing, sheets, or other household fabrics. This rug, which measures 34.5 by 29.5 inches, is made from jeans too worn for wear anymore, but still with a lot of good fabric in them. The jeans are cut apart and into strips using scissors and a manual strip cutter; then the strips are sewn together using a treadle sewing machine. They are then hand-woven on a handmade antique loom.
The only electricity used to make these rugs is the light to sew by and the radio for a little music to weave by!
I am seriously coveting this beautiful rug that Annikki's Weaving Studio has generously contributed, but unfortunately for me and lucky for you- it's for the giveaway!

I think my favorite in the shop right now is the Bright Green rug in Diminishing Colors-- but then that leaves out the knitwear! Arg, it's all such solid, appealing work!
And I do want that denim rug-- I know just where I'd use it!

The STANDARD ISSUE -- Hand-woven green rug in diminishing colors design is absolutely gorgeous. I remember these types of rugs when I was growing up, they were always so cool
I actually like the one being given away the best. I think it has the right shades of blue to go perfectly in one of my rooms.
