If you are looking for a gorgeous needlepoint carpet you may want to see Wiltons. The Wilton power look weaves the wool and creates the most beautiful patterns. If you like a trellis design or an intricate floral there are many needlepoint to choose from. Many patterns also have coordinating borders which can be installed around the perimeter of your room or used to make a beautiful finished rug area.
One of the most fascinating things about these rugs, is that they use no pattern. The picture of what they want is in their mind, and comes out into the rug through their fingers. Many of the Navajo Rugs have a spirit string. This is a small piece of unwoven yarn exiting the rug from the top left hand corner. The weaver leaves this yarn loose for a reason, and it is not a flaw. The weaver will have spent months of their lives in front of their loom, and believe that the pattern is one that their spirit has created within themselves. They leave the string unwoven so that their spirit can escape the rug, and find it's way back to their souls. If you are looking for a rug to purchase, look for one with a spirit yarn.
