About CapeCodBraidedRug.com
The storied history of the Cape Cod Braided Rug started in the little town of Plainville, Massachusetts in 1910. At that time, Romeo Paulus was employed by a shoelace manufacturing company, and realized that the same braiding process used in the production of shoelaces, could be applied to braided rug production. Romeo modified the machiney used in shoelace production, producing the first machine-made braided rugs in the United States and started the Plainville Rug Company.
