6x9 Multicolor Recycled Chaput Rug - 50276

Created as a new rug from reclaimed Chaput yarns, this handwoven piece uses a balanced mix of reclaimed tones with multicolor tones helping organize the overall composition. The result is a contemporary recycled rug with visible texture, natural variation and the kind of irregularity that gives handmade weaving its character. The design is built around geometric sections and angular woven forms, giving the surface a clear contemporary rhythm. Because the recycled yarns differ slightly in thickness, tone and fiber content, the geometry feels hand-drawn and tactile rather than perfectly mechanical.

Its construction begins with Chaput kilims that are carefully dismantled to reclaim their yarns. The recovered material is then reorganized and woven by hand into a new rug, preserving useful fibers while creating an entirely different contemporary design. Because the reclaimed yarns come from different Chaput pieces, the material blend can include wool, cotton, goat hair, hemp and other textile fibers. This mixed-fiber construction is part of the rug’s identity: each material reacts differently to light and touch, creating a surface with natural variation and depth.

The combination of contemporary pattern and reclaimed material gives the rug a relaxed, collected look. It is particularly effective in spaces that need texture and personality rather than a perfectly uniform machine-made surface. Small variations in color, line and texture are natural to both the reclaimed materials and the handwoven process, and they are part of what makes the rug visually individual.

By giving existing Chaput yarns a second use, the rug combines traditional handweaving with a contemporary approach to material reuse. Its irregularities are part of the design and help make each piece unique rather than standardized.
