A Forest in the Threads

I dropped right down onto my knees to look at the woven edge of the big rug! Up close, the blue and yellow loops twist together just like tiny coiled trees. I pushed my nose right against a knotted fringe and traced a single fuzzy yellow yarn until it tucked under a thick gray loop. When I blew on it gently, the whole tiny jungle swayed! It feels like an entire maze is hiding under the coffee table, and I am definitely mapping out a walkway along the border.
