Lostine is proud to present the work of craftsman Olly Williams. These beautiful hand made occasional rugs are made out of upcycled suiting fabric that the Philadelphia artist collects and repurposes. Each one is slightly different. Each size and shape is approximate as the artisan chooses from many fabric pieces to create the design. We regard them as truly special pieces to be used and enjoyed.
This longer shape is perfect as a runner in a small hallway. It has a melange of red, black and gray fabrics from a home sewer's cache.
"I remember two rugs that graced the bare floors of our simple Missouri farm house in the 1930"s. They were made by my mother who turned worn-out wool clothing into strips and crocheted them. Soon after I retired in my 70's I saw a kit for crocheting rag rugs. The wood crochet hook reminded me of the one my mother made from a hickory buggy wheel spoke. I bought the kit and now well into my nineties I have decided to make it a family tradition." ~ Olly Williams
