Everlasting Rug Art

Fiber Art has taken many forms since mankind first discovered that fibers from plants and animals could be spun into thread and woven into clothing, blankets, wall hangings, and floor coverings for comfort and decoration.

Patterns in design have been used to document history, identify geneology, and imitate creation.

Today interior designers use fiber art as a means to create a mood, make a statement, or enhance a specific space. 

The focus of Everlasting Rug Art is on selecting a specific color palette, repeated variegated design, and high quality crocheted fabrication.  This is what makes it distinctly unique from any other type of rug on the market today.

Crocheted rugs have proven to be more durable than woven rugs or braided rugs, because they are fabricated without warp.  Warp is the string which binds the rug and is woven between the fabric to hold it together.  If just one string in the warp breaks, the fabric lets loose and the entire rug begins to unravel.  In time, the fringes at the end of a woven rug, as a result of use and washing, also wear away, causing the rug to unravel.

However a properly fabricated and corcheted rug will easily endure many years of wear and machine washing.

Rugs produced by Everlasting Rug Art are labor intensive with lasting quality in mind.  Usually all of the material strips are rolled and tacked every 4 to 6 inches to eliminate rough edges and the possibility of fraying--unless, of course, a rough textured look is the desired affect.

The pattern for Everlasting Rug Art was developed and perfected by Kathryn Graves over the course of 30 years.  It cannot be purchased or seen in any other crocheted rug. 

Whether your style is vintage, shabby chic, modern, or traditional, Everlasting Rug Art can add a unique finishing touch to any room.
