Create a family heirloom! Although braided rugs are often associated with the Colonial era, the craft did not develop until the early 19th century. Truly a form of American folk art, these rugs are made of wool and laced with cotton carpet thread. They're especially durable — people swear that they use them for decades and they still look great. Some participants have created smaller projects in this class, too, like table runners, trivets and placemats.
