A cotton room-size rug, having dimension between 3 feet.times.5 feet, and 12 feet.times.15 feet, is made from a heat set blend of about 70-90% cotton fibers and about 30-10% low melting temperature polyester fibers. The polyester impregnates the cotton fibers to give them enhanced properties. The fibers are tightly tufted to a primary backing, and latex adhesive connects the primary backing to an open weave polypropylene secondary backing. A stain resistant finish is applied and the sides serged, and fringe attached. A cabled 3.0/2/2 yarn configuration is preferred.
