DO YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF A PENNY RUG?

Wool goes way back….to Medieval Times.  They had sheep with very warm coats of wool.

They sheared the sheep, harvested the wool into fabric, which was very warm and a bit waterproof.  Made clothing.  And when that clothing wore out  - it was cut up to be used for “Rugs” – their term for blanket or quilt.  They covered themselves with rugs of great warmth and design.  The Pennies – well they did not have template plastic back in those days so they used whatever they had to draw around for a pattern.  The “pennies” were coins used to draw around to create the circles that you see on so many wool designs.

Viola!!!  Wool goes back farther than Cotton in blanket making.   A dying art! Well I hope not!!
