A few months ago, I decided to learn something about a subject that has always interested me, but remain unexplored. I say unexplored because somehow this can be compared, I think, to travel to some of the world you've always wanted to see, but could not afford. Believe it or not, there is an advantage to find the study of the near at hand which is not only monetary, there experienced the thrill of seeing something for the first time, something that has always been there, the feet, but the least known and unknown. Such is the pleasure that I took to realize that cheap carpet next to my chair dining room had a name and a history as old as this country.
I intend to provide this blog with a photo of this rug so I'll try not describe beyond saying it is oval and anyone who has ever attended a Target or Kmart store has seen hundreds of them piled on shelves. For my part I have never given a second look. We bought this one to lie beside our Dogie Door to soak up the rain and mud when our Jack Russell Terrier returned from outside.
Its tissue may be time to swim to a boiling vat of chemicals limited, and it could have been woven on a treadmill in a loom with no name, but the carpet, like you and me and burrows, has a history and pedigree.
The more distant ancestor carpets in this country was the colonial rag. Carpet makers Colonial housewives mostly poor, had to make do with what they had. And what they had was scraps of clothing worn. Working all day without any devices laborsaving we take for granted, to court time and money, they rags sewn together almost randomly thrown on the cold floor and New England, covering their windows drafts and used them as bed covers.
Mats and rugs is a woven carpets are the next level of carpet manufacturing in both technically and artistically. Life must have improved somewhat, because instead of throwing all the rags, the housewives colonial laboriously cut in strips, flat braided pigtails, and starting center, sew the braids along their edges forming an oval shape of my braided rug modern. They even took the time and effort trying to make them aesthetically attractive by weaving rags to repeat color schemes. Heavier and more hotter than the carpet earlier in the cloth, the oval, it is more difficult for muddy boots husbands of housewives "to kick side a virtue we rely on today to save our floors to wet the feet of our terriers.
