etsy find: modern rugs

Meg found some recycled rugs that got a positive reponse, and now Leah finds us even more.
I’m continually amazed by the sheer breadth of handmade goods available on Etsy — not just art and pottery and the like but, increasingly, major household items such as handcrafted furniture and even area rugs. Let’s take a look at some of the unique (and often eco-friendly) floor coverings currently on offer. Above is a 5-by-7-foot Grey Astrakhan Rug made from six vintage sheepskin coats. $2,500 from Ouno.

8-by-13-foot Felt Block Rug, available in a variety of custom-dyed colors, $1,875 from feeldesign.
So many more rugs after the jump!

4-by-5-foot Ramona Rug, made from hand-pieced New Zealand Merino sheepskin, $686 from Glacier Trading Co.

5-by-7.5-foot Modern Pile Rug, made from hand-tufted 100-percent New Zealand wool, $449 from modernrugs.

5-by-8-foot Cafe Au Lait Recycled Rug, hand-sewn from strips cut from over 70 discarded t-shirts, $365 from TalkingSquid.

58-by-26-inch Green and Orange/Fuchsia Rug, hand-knit and hand-felted, $250 from Fafnir. –Leah H.
