About Pellizas:
Pellizas
are a traditional hand woven rag rug from the Dominican Republic. The original Pelliza rugs were made with remnants of clothes and fabric and woven into plastic rice sacs. The fabric, which has to be cut in 5” long strips (approximately), is pushed through holes in the sacks and then knotted.

Acerca de las Pellizas:
Las Pellizas son una alfombra tradicional de trapo tejida a mano de la República Dominicana. Las alfombras originales de Pelliza se hicieron con restos de ropa y tela y se tejieron en sacos de arroz de plástico. La tela, que debe cortarse en tiras de 5” de largo (aproximadamente), se empuja a través de agujeros en los sacos y luego se anuda.
