I have wanted to tackle making a braided rug since childhood.  I found this book to give the clearist step by step directions.

This is a beautiful rug!  It's a blend of natural fiber and denim (of varying shades of blue) strips woven into a relatively flat rug (i.e. it isn't likely to be tripped over).  I purchased the 4' x 6' and had absolutely no trouble getting the ends to lie flat.  My only problem with it is that, every time I leave the house, I must roll it up and put it on top of something to keep my Jack Russell from scratching at it.  (He has issues with being left to his own devices and tends to act out.)  Even so, I would purchase this rug again; it's well worth that bit of extra effort!

This is the most beautiful rug I have ever owned. I'm just waiting to buy another one! Waiting for another paycheck to go through, and I'll own another one!

I bought this for a 5x8 oval braided rug that was slipping like crazy on our hardwood floor.  This needed some trimming to acheive the oval shape but cut easily with scissors. The rug now stays in place beautifully. The pad also adds a tiny bit of cushioning.  It certainly fulfills its purpose and at a reasonable price.

I washed my beautiful rug yesterday and that is what happened. I would like to get in contact with the supplier in order to solve this issue.

I had a problem with an area rug that buckled, I tried all sorts of items. I just cut this one to fit and so far so good, Hope it will maintain its form.
The only problem that I found, as did other people, that there were no instructions.
Which way to set it up, top to carpet or to rug first. We Put the gripper down on the carpet and pulled off the plastic from it and then set down my area rug. That was 3 days ago.

I really am enjoying this project. It's my second one. However, I am constantly running out of thread. I have even tried to be very frugal with it. Maybe it's just me though and I'm not experienced enough. I guess all of the extra thread I'm ordering will be used in future projects.

It's not as much as I had expected. It's more the size of a skein of yarn. The pieces are all torn fabric and it was frayed in some places.  It is all connected together like one big strip, so you could use it to crochet with or make rag rugs. If you plan to make a rug, you'll need to buy several. I made a peace sign wall hanging (wrapped it around a medium size embroidery hoop with some hanging down as fringe) and still had about half of it left. It did look nice for what I used it for. I'd like to see larger pieces of the same fabric for sale also.

I was absolutely in love with this book until I actually began to crochet a rug per the pattern in the book.  It took me some time to decipher the directions and find it hard to believe a beginner could successfully follow them.  I am wondering how many of the US reviewers have actually made anything in the book. Once deciphered I was very pleased with the rug pattern.

I really like this rug!  It is nicer and plusher than I'd imagined it.  The shipping was on time.  I took the precaution of putting the rug down flat upside down for a couple of days, which I heard helped prevent edge curl, and I have no problems with the edges at all.  (I liked it so much that I bought a companion rug to go in the same room.)

Great book with a lot of ideas in making rugs, thanks.

Do not buy this rug. The braids are ok but the braids are sewn together with nylon string so they come apart and hang on every thing.
I bought 8 and they all come apart.

I should get my money back!!!!

They worked great! I need another set for a couple other rugs. They should make them for the sides, too. My rugs got curled past the corner a little.

I love this rug, I had one already from another maker and the sewn in 'curb' that prevents your bass drum from sliding forward quickly came loose; I had to glue and screw it back to the rug. This one from Kaces, the 'curb' is really well fastened to the rug. I play double bass drums so I use both rugs. The way I kick, my bass drums would fly away from me, even their side spurs could not hold them in place. Viva heavy metal drumming!

Finished the striped blanket last week and it turned out lovely. Years ago I made the other blanket, same stitches but more of a large border. As others mention, not a ton of variation, but if you are starting out a good way to master pieces without trying to relearn every time. Wish the hats had a magic circle variation. Will try the booties next. Not really projects I'd finish in a day, don't get your hopes up! :)

I like that I can cut to size for any rugs I need it for.  Under a runner in the kitchen, I found that the runner will move slightly over time even with the non-slip under it but certainly not to the point of slipping.

This runner is amazing. It's exactly what I wanted. Perfect length for my hallway. VERY PLUSH. The color is perfect, not too white. I'm in love with this rug. Can't wait for the 8x10 to arrive so I can roll around in it like my cat is doing to this one. :D (Sorry for the candles. Trying to get it to flatten out.)

If you're considering this rug, go for it with no regrets.

Update: 8x10 came (not quite 8x10) no weird smell, no oil spots or mold. Great rug, very heavy. I did roll around on it like a cat. It was glorious.

Colors look different due to lighting in my house. Both are Ivory and they match perfectly IRL.
