Even though all of our rugs are made to order and are manufactured at our facility in Shelby, NC, our turnaround time is usually less than two weeks. Our yarn is special ordered and made to our specifications. The yarn is 100% American made in Dalton, GA. Over the years we have manufactured rugs using nylon, cotton, wool, polyester or acrylic yarn.
We now use a spun polypropylene yarn. This is by far the strongest most colorfast fiber we have ever used. It has the look and feel of wool but is far more durable. Our rugs are reversible, machine washable, and are so durable that they can even be used outside. Unlike other fibers that start out as a natural color and are soaked in dye, this spun polypropylene can even withstand pet "accidents" and not lose any color.
I personally have been involved in this business since 1983. I purchased CBR in 1990 when my parents were ready to retire. I know every inch of this business from running braid, sewing rugs, packaging the finished product to sewing machine repair but my "field of expertise" is rug design.

Amazing product made in USA. Ordered two last year and just ordered another one, after having to reach out to try to figure out the pattern of the previously purchased. Owner was quick to assist and I know this order will arrive in a timely fashion like my others did. Great product and great customer service!! Don't hesitate to order if you're looking, you can't go wrong!

This company provides quality workmanship and the longtime owner, Donna Noblitt, was knowledgeable and professional in every way in assisting me with my purchase. I love the colors and was allowed to customize the braid of the design by choosing an alternate yarn color. The rugs lay flat and are so beautiful. They are made in USA in Shelby North Carolina. I highly recommend this company!

We were in the market for made in USA braided rugs for our home. After searching and investigating multiple sources, we reached out to Colonial. Donna personally assisted us with color and style choices after we sent photos of the space, as well as arranging for a custom size to be made. They made the process extremely easy, and the turnaround time was amazing. Once the rugs arrived, they were even better than what we had hoped for. I would strongly recommend anyone to purchase from Colonial. Made in USA, American Business, Personalized Service where you can actually speak with the owner, and QUALITY

Our rug arrived yesterday, and it's everything we've been looking for. We searched for months for a great rug that would fit our family room and wouldn't cost thousands of dollars.
Your product is so beautifully crafted, sturdy and a perfect fit for our home. And knowing we supported a woman-owned business, makes us feel fabulous. From ordering to delivery, you made the process so easy.
Keep up the good work!

We stopped at the factory during a February, pre-coronavirus, drive to Florida. Donna showed us how they make the braids and sew the rugs. A hands-on examination of the fibers and rugs reassured us that these… polypropylene, olefin, rugs are good quality. We ordered five rugs that day and picked them up on the return drive to Michigan. We’ve had them now for eight weeks and are very pleased with the quality, the feel, and the beauty of our rugs.

I have been looking for a braided rug for about a year. It is for my kitchen so I knew I needed a solid rug that could take use, abuse and pets! Donna helped me pick the right colors for my decor along with the right size for the space. This rug is wonderful. It is substantial in weight, it vacuums well and gives my kitchen a “welcome, come on in” feel. Thank you Colonial Braided Rug Company!
