Pinocchio Felted Wool Rug from Hay

If ever there was an apt use of the term "eye candy", this rug seems to qualify splendidly. The rugs, designed by Hay (a Danish company), are handcrafted in Nepal using felted, 100% pure new wool...

We first spotted these beauties on Kellits. The Hay Pinocchio rug, named after a Danish licorice, is available in three colorways: multicolored, aubergine, and purple. Of course these rugs aren't inexpensive, given the amount of work that goes into them. The 35 inch rug is $292 and the 55 inch rug is $715. It looks like you can order them from Moletamunro.

Very colorful, indeed. I saw exactly like this for a small jewelry-like box or for a small purse at a DC's Eastern Market, one of its flea markets. The creator of those items was originally from Tibet!

Cute rugs, but prices are in pounds sterling on the website.

Marvelous project for a long, cold, obsessive compulsive winter. I think I just might tackle it.

I love those. I'll take any of them. But, isn't purple and aubergine the same?

£225.00 = $327.41, as the £ is at $1.46. Which is a lot for a bunch of pompoms stuck together.

looks cool, but I'm guessing it wouldn't hold up very well

Maybe it would be more fun to hang it on a wall.
