So the entire rug isn’t handmade, but the trim is.
I wanted a rug that was neutral but still had some character, something that would tie back with the design of the rest of the house, yet be hard wearing enough for a young family
This is a great way to connect carpeted areas such as a formal lounge and dining to the family areas at the back of the house. The custom sized piece of carpet was professionally overlocked then the hand knitted trim, made from a recycled t-shirt fabric yarn, was hand sewn into place.
The trim has been wearing exceptionally well, cleans, vacuums and stands up to daily life in a household of 3 kids and a dog and still looks great.
And of course it is black!
