Any color

Jan can help you choose a palette that suits your home and preferences.

Any shape

Rectangle, square, hexagon, octagon, circle, or oval. 

Any size

From stair runners and seat covers, to enormous area rugs.

The Process

The materials for each rug start off as large wool sheets. Jan washes the wool, cuts it into strips, and rolls it into coils that are used to ultimately make the rugs. The strips from the coils are then used to create long, even braids, which she butts into circles. Each concentric circle is laced together to form the rug. Jan always plans her rugs in advance to ensure that the color choices are perfect. 

"Butting" each braid (shown here) enables Jan to make more complex shapes. Furthermore, if a portion of the rug is damaged, she can undo the stitching to replace only the affected components so the rug can be salvaged.

details

Each rug is custom made; the rugs featured on this website are not available for sale. However, if you like what you see here, a replica may be possible. Because each rug is custom, your order could take several weeks or several months to make.
