In reply to the discussion: Religious Symbolism in the Islamic Prayer Rug [View all]Mariana
(14,858 posts)55. Thank you MineralMan.
I have obtained enough odds and ends that way to make my small projects, but it would take forever to gather enough for a large rug.
I see there are a few woolen mills still open, and some are within reasonable driving distance. I'll contact them and see if they can do anything for me. Some people use other, less expensive fabrics, but if I'm going to put that much work into a project, I'd like it to last a long time. Wool wears better than just about anything else, it looks better, and it feels wonderful under bare feet.
