Our hand made outdoor rugs are made by an ancient technique from the Orient by Sawgrass Mills Outdoor Rugs. Sawgrass Mills only makes high quality hand hooked outdoor rugs and is an expert in what it takes to make the perfect outdoor rug. Sawgrass Mills Outdoor rugs are as durable as they are luxurious. Made from Duracord, a 21 st century synthetic fiber made to look and feel like cotton, these rugs will be the focal point of any outdoor or indoor setting and will remain beautiful for years to come.
To make a Sawgrass Mills rug, first the pattern is stenciled onto a waterproof synthetic canvas that has been stretched over a wooden frame. Then the oriental craftsmen hand hook the Duracord yarns into this base fabric to bring life to the design using rudimentary tools as has been done for centuries.
After several craftsmen have spent days meticulously hand hooking the design, waterproof glue is spread over the back of the rug to lock the yarns in place and to laminate a more rigid mesh to give the rug the stability to maintain its shape. Lastly, the excess base cloth is trimmed and folded under the rug to provide a clean durable edge. Hand made rugs are:
Elegant and stylish with a very plush feel
Each loop on the face of the rug is individually placed and hooked by hand
More detail can be achieved by the hand hooking process
Many different colors can be used in a single rug
Since they are hand made, no two are exactly alike
You will not find a more luxurious and durable outdoor rug anywhere. Sawgrass Mills Rugs are made from combining 21st century materials and ancient hand hooking techniques to create an array of beautiful and durable designs.
