Thorndike Mills is Family owned and operated, and takes
pride in offering the highest quality braided rugs handcrafted right here in
New England.
“The Thorndike Difference”
*Guaranteed Full Size – If you order a 6 x 9, you will
receive a full 6 x 9.
*Custom Sizes Without any Increase in Cost – Thorndike Mills
will make any
custom size, up to 9 x 12, without any added cost increase or
delay in delivery.
*Sewing Thread -We use a spun polyester thread with cotton
wrap. This is
the most durable of sewing threads.
This same thread is
used in the manufacturing of fine quality shoes.
*Sewing Method - ALL Thorndike rugs are sewn using a
lock-stitched method.
*Sewing thread -Always color co-coordinated to match the
color of the rug.
*Color Match - Thorndike can always guarantee a commercial
color match
because all raw materials are manufactured to their
strict specifications. Rugs are NEVER made from used or
reprocessed materials.
*TRUE CLOTH BRAID – Thorndike is the ONLY domestic
manufacturer of a true
cloth constructed braid. The next
best option would be an
actual hand made rug.
*Filler - Blend of pre-shrunk cotton and synthetic
fibers for the finest
way to fill our yarn braided
rugs. Using only quality filler, you
can be certain to avoid problems with color bleeding or
shrinkage.
*Hidden Joints – This is our own unique process of assuring
the smoothest
transition of colors, especially in our hit and miss designs.
*Symmetrically Perfect – For most all of our braids, we take
the extra step of
braiding the end row completely by hand to assure a
perfectly symmetrical rug. There
is no “rat tail” finish.
For our yarn braids, we use the utmost care to taper down
the last row, to create a very subtle finished edge.
