Erica, after many months of scouring thrift stores for wool, finally finished her braided rug. It must have weighed 100 pounds. We put it down on the living room floor and Gracie the cat had to check it out. In the first picture notice how she aligns herself along the longitudinal axis in the center of the rug.

The Rug is 11-1/2 feet long and 8 ft wide. It contains several miles of wool strips braded and then sewn together. I have some close-ups of the patterns that the wool makes in the other camera.
