I absolutely love this area rug, but unfortunately it is made of wool and I only buy vegan products. I'd like to take a stab at DIYing it, but I'm not really sure what to try. It is for a high traffic area so I feel like hand or gun tufting won't hold up. I don't think cutting it from carpet tiles will work as it would mean cutting out tiny strips that I think would fall apart. I have never done a braided rug, but maybe I could get something that looks close? Any suggestions on a technique that would work best?
