Wool Blanket Rug

I'm always trying to come up with new ideas for upcycling the stash of donated wool blankets that have been piling up in my supply room.    Instead of making small items with all of them, I thought it would be fun to make a rug!  This little cutie would be sweet in a nursery or little girl's bedroom, and feels soft and warm underfoot.

The rug is made with two layers of heavy wool blanket; pieces have been attached with blanket stitch; and embellished with machine stitched circles.  It is a good weight, but I would recommend it be used with a non-slip underlay.  Easy care - just wash in cold water, and hang to dry.

Hooked Rug

Over the past month, I spent many, many happy hours on the back deck working on this new rug.  The lively circular pattern was hooked in an array of colourful wools in solids and plaids; the background is a rich black and charcoal gray tweed.  The rug would add interest to any environment - from sleek modern to country cottage!
