The Flat Weave hand woven rug is a type of area rug created by weaving wool. The Flat Weave rug offers the same beauty and durability as the classical thick-pile Oriental rugs, but without the thick pile often spotted in other handmade rugs. This gives the Flat weave a thin and flat appearance which resembles the Needlepoint, making them wonderfully ideal choices as accent rugs, wall hangings, or to drape over furniture and staircases.
