Inspired by breezy summer days at the beach house, the Orleans Felted Rug is a simple garter stitch or single crochet rug in modern color palettes ideal for kitchens, bedsides, or any area of floor that needs perking up. 100%, non-superwash wool felts beautifully and results in a sturdy fabric that will last through years of foot traffic.
