Capel rugs were among the first braided rugs - they were firstly made more then a century ago.

It all came out of desire of people to reuse their old things. So they made long stripes from their worn clothes and braided capel rugs from them. At that timecapel rugs were a good alternative for hard to make regular area rugs so they were widely used as coverings and carpets.


Comparing to regular rugs making of capel rugs is pretty simple. First some sort of fibers for the capel rugs is needed(it doesn't matter if it natural or synthetic). Long spripes made of these fibers Then these tripes have to be colored so to obtain the wanted design of capel rugs.

And at the end these stripes have to be tight together to form capel rugs.
