braided rug
Interlaced floor covering
A braided rug is a floor covering made by braiding strips of fabric—traditionally wool or cotton scraps—into long ropes, then coiling and stitching them into an oval or circular shape.
Associated with early American craftsmanship and colonial décor, braided rugs have a homespun, durable quality: The braided rug by the hearth had been in the family for generations.
