Shaggy Rugs

Shaggy rugs are back from the sixties with a vengeance, this is probably due to their soft chunky pile and ever increasing ranges. Manufactures use a large range of yarns from acrylic, polyester, wool and viscose, recently a new style of felted wool shag pile rugs have been developed, these are usually made from wool and offer a different texture and soft feel. Shag pile rugs are usually handmade on a weaving loom or shuttle loomed on hand operated looms, many of the lower price ranges are machine woven on Wilton weaving machines. Shaggy rugs don't have to break the bank our machine made ranges start from as little as £20.00. The Rug Retailer stocks shaggy rugs from around the globe places like India, China, Belgium and recently Turkey are large producers of shag pile rugs. You will find a large selection in this category from plain and patterned designs to funky and even washable. Some of our most popular ranges include Arctic, Hudson, Tashen and Jeff Banks Shaggy.
