They list the manufacturers that work with and I've already contacted all of them. I've now gone from 99.9999999999999999% positive they don't have what I need to 100% positive.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-74475201373855881742008-08-14T10:32:00.000-07:002008-08-14T10:32:00.000-07:00I hope you don't get upset with me & tell ...I hope you don't get upset with me & tell me to myob<BR/><BR/>http://www.albertstainedglass.com/Kathy from NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502604640751977016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-3953525541242439122008-08-13T18:32:00.000-07:002008-08-13T18:32:00.000-07:00Kathy,I have not been following BRH's adventures, ...Kathy,<BR/><BR/>I have not been following BRH's adventures, but I've seen his work before.

Several of the rugs I was considering were "needle punched" and were awful. They were just bits of wool yarn pushed down into a glue substance and then backed with canvas. I found a woven wool rug in England.<BR/>I did a blog post about this at:<BR/>http://winnowings.blogspot.com/2008/06/stuff-wears-out.htmlChristine Threshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472999420963274439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-61570177640210167922008-08-11T07:20:00.000-07:002008-08-11T07:20:00.000-07:00Jayne,I went with the beige.

One little trick I learned with rugs....buy a really nice pad for underneath (be sure to get one specifically for hardwood floors - not that I learned that one the hard way or anything). A thick pad makes any rug feel more luxurious and also helps them last longer.StuccoHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608839109697874015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-15355922528994470402008-08-10T17:54:00.000-07:002008-08-10T17:54:00.000-07:00Very nice.
