Weather Smart® rugs are machine made. WeatherSmart®  yarns are man-made industrial yarns that have undergone improvements in the aesthetics and hand and further anti-microbial enhancements to prevent degradation from outdoor exposure. But, WeatherSmart® has the soft feel of cotton unlike any other synthetic yarns used in rugs today.
