Felt ball rugs

I really like these felt ball throw rugs for little ones' rooms. In fact, there is something distinctly edible about them.

These are made by Happy as Larry. They aren't cheap ($400 is the roundabout price) but you can see why - each ball handfelted and then colour matched and invisibly stitched together in a perfect pattern. I would say these are worth the money, if you can afford something so lovely for the kids' rooms. They are a firm feel floor rug (they look like cotton balls but are very solid) and the felted balls are imported from Nepal (yak wool, I'm reliably informed!). I'm not sure if the Perth woman who runs this store makes the rugs after importing the felt balls or imports the rugs complete.

You can order these online at her website and I've also seen her at the Handmade Children's Markets.
