Braided Rugs are made with Braided strips of cotton or wool. The strips are sewn together making a rug that is often oval but can also be square or rectangular. Braided Rugs have an informal, rustic appearance and, these days, can be either machine made or handmade. Use Braided Rugs, either cotton or wool, in a country house in any room. They are versatile and attractive and can also be used in an informal city setting.
