Dash & Albert rugs add color

They are thick, they are soft, and they are the "it" rug showing up in a long list of home-decorating magazines. Dash & Albert rugs are casually chic handcrafted floor coverings made of natural materials.

The hand-hooked wool rugs come in a variety of modern designs and vintage patterns with colors from muted to bright. All have an all-cotton backing. The reversible cotton rugs show up in traditional ticking stripes, bright awning stripes and plaids.

A line of outdoor rugs also is available.

Sizes range from room size to 2-by-3-foot rugs, such as those pictured here. The floral wool rug is $70, the cotton striped rug is $30.
