Create your own rug and if you need any rug repair, we found Persian Carpet Studio in Suffolk!

We had the pleasure to meet Jo at the Persian Carpet Studio from Suffolk on Friday the 26th of November. http://www.persiancarpetstudio.co.uk/

It was great to see how you can design your own rug and how they repair rugs.
You are able to create your own woven rug. They have got software that does it for you. You choose the design, the fibres (silk, wool...). I really think thi
s is a great idea for Christmas. Jo told us that it takes around 3 weeks to have it done. So this is a great time to do it if you want it for Christmas. The workshop is open to public so we recommend that you stop by! During your visit they will explain how a oriental rug is made on a loom like the one below.
They can repair any type of rug.On Friday the lady was repairing fringes.
Have a look at their website: http://www.persiancarpetstudio.co.uk/

The Rug Chapel Story!!

We have been to  Wales  in Llangollen not too long ago and we saw a board! The Rug Chapel!! Great! We love rugs so we thought that it would be a great idea to stop and have a look at this rug. In a chapel, the rug must be antique and beautiful! We were very surprised when we arrived at the chapel and ask to see the rugs. The lady at the reception explained that in Welch, "rug" doesn't mean "rug"! This is a nice little chapel but there is no rug there! We will know next time we go to  Wales  :)
