About Needlepoint Rugs

The roots of needlepoint rugs go back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians. Needlepoint is a form of canvas work embroidery, in which yarn is stitched through an open weave canvas in which vertical and horizontal threads are formed to make precise holes between the thread. Stitchers use different coloured yarn to cover each area with the corresponding color on the canvas. The stitching and threads used on the canvas make them extremely durable.  Needlepoint rugs have usually European designs with lots of florals.

Our collection consists of the finest hand stitched affordable needlepoint rugs which are made with 100% lambs wool.

About Wool Pile

Before written history, mankind was using wool to make life better and comfortable. Although scientists have tried many times to make a synthetic product with all of the qualities of wool, they have never succeeded. Nothing compares with the comfort, resilience, versatility, and health benefits of pure wool. Hypoallergenic - Wool is resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew, which trigger reactions in some people. Temperature controlled - Wool is warm in cool weather, cool when it's warm. Naturally fire retardant - Wool extinguishes itself when touched to a flame. It won't continue to burn. Because of this fact, firemen wear wool clothing. Dust mite repellant - Dust mites need moisture to survive. Wool evaporates moisture quickly and is inhospitable to dust mites.
