Wool as a work of art
A woollen rug (above) takes its apt title, Stones, from the appearance of its thick, loop weave. The rug was recently chosen by New York’s Museum of Modern Art for Inclusion in its permanent architecture and design collection. The collection houses everything from clocks to furniture, and now rugs — all picked as examples
of excellence in their fields. Stones was woven from pure wool in Belgium. Its accentuated pile is achieved by the use of rich, felted yarns in a Wilton weave. , , Although it has gained notice as a wall hanging, Stones is designed to be a hard-wearing contemporary floor covering.
