Rugs by Both Textile Constructions

Cush. The rugs made by Both Textile Constructions are handmade of felted wool balls that are stitched together to form floor coverings. They look like they would have a massaging quality underfoot - yummy.

Our favorite is the Polypod design. All of the rugs are handmade by Both in their Nottinghamshire studio.

These remind me of those colorblindness tests you look at at the opthamologist's office...

I bet those feel great but my guess is they would get really dingy - maybe not so bad with the pink/red but the white and grey would look bad fast.

Jennie(2), I have a felted shag rug and that thing is an absolute nightmare to vacuum. I love how it looks and feels but it is a lot of work.

mags if you squat with your legs wide apart and flex your abs its a pretty good workout.
