Created by longtime Truro resident Martha Magane, each chenille rug is handcrafted from reclaimed textiles — old jeans, blankets, sweaters, tablecloths, and other fabrics chosen for their color and texture. Martha sews layers of fabric on the bias to a denim backing, then carefully cuts, washes, and scrubs each rug by hand to create its signature soft chenille finish.

This one-of-a-kind rug features a soft sage green field with darker green borders and a bold diagonal burst of red, orange, teal, and cobalt blue. Measuring approximately 24” × 44”, it brings a lively pop of color while still feeling grounded in natural tones.

Made from mixed reclaimed materials, these rugs are machine washable in a front-loading washer and can be tumble dried on low.

Because Martha works with a constantly changing supply of reclaimed fabrics, no two rugs are ever alike. Looking for a different size or color palette? Click the chat button in the lower right to ask about a custom rug — there’s no obligation, and we’d be happy to help.

About Martha Magane

Martha Magane is a longtime resident of Truro, Massachusetts, and a former librarian. She has always loved to sew and design, creating clothing and slipcovers, as well as finding new ways to work with cloth. Not surprising for a librarian, she found inspiration for the rugs she creates in a book that showed how to layer denim to make small rugs. She started experimenting with layering textiles, stitching squares using fabric sample books, putting the squares together, and adding yarn accents to her designs.

Her designs evolved from squares to the abstracts she creates today. All of her fabrics are repurposed, from tablecloths, sweaters, placemats, scarves—anything that inspires her, purchased at area thrift shops and donated by friends and family. She likes to experiment with different combinations of color, sometimes with an "off note" thrown in.

After sewing and cutting, then piecing together a rug, she hand-washes and scrubs the cut edges to raise the nap, creating a chenille backed atop the denim. After allowing it to drip dry, the rug gets fluffed in the dryer, and it's ready for its new home.
