Red Rug Sub-Groups

Warrug.com’s selection of small red rugs illustrates sub groups of red rugs well.

‘Classic Red Rug




“[not] Vegetable Dye”



Modern [true] Vegetable Dye

‘Five Genades’ (random name but most popular style)



‘Squashed Helicopter’ Style’




‘Camoflage Helicopter’ named for harlequin-esque rendering on helicopters. These were readil available in 1999 and 2000. They are like “Classic” red rugs, but not quite as finely knotted.




“Fat RPG’s” (for lack of a better name)
