    Interesting. Where did you get all the ties, and how many did you use?

    If you're wanting to make one and don't have a father that has retired from wearing neckties, ;) I suggest eBay and search for "necktie lot" or get them for about $2/ea at goodwill. The quantity you would need would depend on the size of rug you make. My rug came from a group of local artisans here in Little Rock d.b.a. "Dreamweavers" , details on my blog...

    This is rather odd seeing this here today since yesterday I happened to see some just like this at the furniture store after we ordered furniture for the Gentleman's Parlor. I'd never seen them before. Didn't know they were made from ties. They had some made from a really soft fine velour too. Even I could go barefoot on that baby!

    Yep, DREAMWEAVERS! Up cycling ties, leather scraps, and scraps of plush from toy manufacturing!
