Announcement
WOOLENBRAE Braided Rugs offers handmade, hand-braided woolen rugs, chairpads, and tabletop mats. BEAUTIFUL shades and colors of wool fabric are combined into oval, round, rectangular and square-shaped floor coverings. Rugs are constructed from new wools or washed, recycled wools. Custom orders are welcome. Please read below.
CUSTOM RESTORATIONS - Woolenbrae rescues damaged braided rugs. With patience and attention to detail, old braided rugs can often be mended and restored - extending their life for longer use in your home. Many of us fondly recall a family member who saved worn garments, cut them into strips, and created a special rug that now shows signs of wear. Common signs of wear: broken stitching between rows, areas where the entire braid is frayed, and small pieces of wool sprouting up. If you love the rug and its memories, and hope to save/enjoy it for as long as possible, pull your rug out of the closet, and let's help it live again! Let's chat. Your rug is probably not a lost cause! I'll be happy to hear the story of your rug, assess your rug's needs, then offer ideas for how I can help. The charge for custom repairs is $30 per hour, with a deposit, and a standard supplies fee. Free shipment on US orders. Free pick-up and delivery within 100 miles of St Johnsbury, VT. For more information, please contact me.
CUSTOM ORDERS: Woolenbrae welcomes custom orders. If you wish to purchase a custom braided rug for yourself or another, please write. I am happy to answer any questions, send more photos, and to create a rug in any size and color - just for you. Custom rugs can even incorporate fabrics that carry special meanings for you or someone else. The charge for a custom made rug is $49 per square foot, payable as a $200 payment (pdf file), with final payment made when the rug is completed. FREE SHIPPING in USA. You will get to choose from fabric swatches and sample braids to approve colors. As your rug grows, you will receive regular updates with photos, throughout its creation process. Generally, a 2' x 3' oval rug will take about 4 weeks to produce. Free delivery to orders within 100 miles of St Johnsbury, VT. Free shipping on U.S. orders. To chat or gather more information, please contact me.

5 out of 5 starsWhen you work with Mary on creating your family heirloom she becomes your best friend. She puts so much care and consideration into the rug she’s making for you. She’s one in a million. I’ll miss working with her on the rug. I might have to find an excuse for her to make another one.

5 out of 5 starsMary picked out lovely colors for my custom pads, based on pics of my decor & my wishes, and then did sample braids several times as we settled on what we wanted. She was very helpful & east to work with. The pads came a week before Thanksgiving (Thanks!) and they were more beautiful than the pictures show!!! Gorgeous colors that fit perfectly in my living/dining room. And the pads, being all wool, are very comfortable to sit on. Wool has a give & spring that no man-made fiber can match. These pads are more comfortable on my wood chairs than many thick stuffed cushions I've had in the past. I'm looking forward to many years of use. I will definitely order from this seller again!

I am a teacher who values the important life skills that enrich our lives. Braiding rugs is one of those skills, and I am so happy to work with folks in my local communities to share our creative efforts together. We learn so much from one another!

I love braiding wool into lovely carpets. My rugs often express natural themes such as the colors of birds, trees, flowers, and other elements of our outdoor environments. I love to teach others AND, I love to restore old rugs to their former glory.
