American Rug Craftsmen Introduces Two New EverStrand Collections at the 2016 Summer Markets
SUGAR VALLEY, Ga., June 22, 2016: For its 2016 summer introductions, American Rug Craftsmen continues to expand its offerings constructed of durable, sustainable and functional EverStrand®.

Introducing the Metropolitan Collection
Metropolitan is a new space-dyed yarn collection with casual and contemporary designs that will appeal to younger consumers. This collection is geared toward loft and apartment living with accessible, fun, and modern designs in fashion-forward colors: greiges (a combination of grey and beige), indigo and black foundations with pops of citron, denim, olive, mustard gold, sapphire and picante. Metropolitan rugs are woven on Van de Wiele looms of EverStrand, which includes up to 100% recycled content and offers stain-resistant beauty and vivid color clarity.

Providence: A New Solution-dyed Yarn Collection
American Rug Craftsmen’s new solution-dyed yarn collection, Providence, will offer a group of traditional colors and patterns as well as some lodge and tropical designs. This collection of 20 rugs is woven of EverStrand yarn, which is highly durable against matting, crushing and everyday wear-and-tear so it stays looking newer longer. Retail price for 5' x 8' Providence rug is $149.

All American Rug Craftsmen collections are made in the USA.

NOTE: There are no images currently available of the new American Rug Craftsmen rugs. However, they will be shown at the Atlanta Rug Market and the Las Vegas Rug Market in July.
