req. for info: handmaking Rya (shag) rugs

[Karen Kolling]

Is there anybody out there who's ever hand-made a Rya (or any
shag) rug? I'm thinking about doing that because I can't find
a store-bought shag to coordinate with an existing Rya that I
have, and I was wondering (1) about how long it takes to
do per unit area, and (2) if it's really true that it can be
made in small sections and then the sections joined without
the joins showing. Thanks for any info.
