Homestead Weaving Studio is a small family-operated business in Brown County, Indiana, near the tourist mecca of Nashville, which creates unique household items and clothing, and specializes in making HAND-WOVEN RUGS from recycled material. The supplies we use for our rugs are byproducts of other industries, where they are considered "scrap." Our mission is to keep this usable material from the waste stream and to turn it into functional fiber art. We do custom spinning, dyeing and weaving and work with clients and interior designers to create special pieces of art.

It is the most beautiful rug I think I have ever seen! I'm not kidding... it's so soft and the colors do wonderful things under our lights. It reminds me of the forest floor!
Thank you, thank you for your skilled work and artistry!
My husband said to write "we love it!"
The three month old is busy drooling on it as we speak :)

"The beautiful hanging came on Wednesday and I had it up already when my husband
got home from work. It was SO FUN to wait in the kitchen while he went
upstairs to change and then came right down! Such a fun surprise! I LOVE IT!
He just said how perfect it was...just what we always wanted for that space.
... Chris, thank you so much for bringing to life, in such a beautiful way, what
was in my head. I am so lucky to have been able to partake of your talents."Heather P., Michigan
