Ruckstuhl\u2019s latest collection of area rugs\u00a0is made using a plant fiber from Colombia called \u2018fique\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Maglia rugs are knitted from plant fibers by hand using large knitting needles.\u00a0Found in Colombia and similar to coir or cotton, the fibers are extracted from the fleshy leaves of the Agave plant and are more typically used to make coffee sacks or coarse agricultural yarns.<\/p>\n

For the new \u2018Maglia\u2019 collection, Ruckstuhl worked in partnership with a manufacturer in Colombia who spun the robust fique fibers into 30 different colors of yarn that were then knitted into rugs by hand using large knitting needle.<\/p>\n

\"Rugs<\/a><\/p>\n

Each rug is made using up to seven different colors of yarn and custom color combinations are available on request. In addition, the irregularity of the material means that each rug is unique.<\/p>\n
