Maiden Rock WI Store: Thursday - Sunday, 11- 4
These handmade felt rugs are traditionally made by women in nomadic tribes in Kyrgyzstan, which is a country of rugged mountains and extreme weather in Central Asia. These sheep's wool rugs are called Shyrdak Rugs. The group that made these rugs, which was formed more than a decade ago, is comprised of women who work in small groups from their homes and they live near a small town in northern Kyrgyzstan that is on the Silk Road. These rugs are durable yet soft and warm on your feet!
