The goal for BRAIDS is to provide an affordable source for hand braided rugs that revive memories of the wonderful wool rugs our grandmothers used to make. These rugs complement the furnishings of any room, satisfy a sense of beauty, and provide a durable product for many years to come.

Original Artist

Maryann Yoder

BRAIDS was started when Maryann decided that denim twill was as durable as wool and started cutting old jeans into strips for hand braided rugs. When her supply of jeans ran out she began buying cotton twill from closeout lists of textile mills.



Vonda Yoder

Current Artist

Due to physical complications, Maryann has sold BRAIDS to Vonda. Vonda brings the same creative ingenuity and perseverance to the business and will craft any rug with the same standard of excellence you've come to expect from Maryann.


Mission statement:
"To gain satisfaction, pleasure and self-esteem through the quality of my craftsmanship and the beauty & functionality of my work."
