My childhood neighbor lady, Nettie Augusta Adele Lehman Lindhorst, was born in 1888 in Faulk County, Dakota. She told me that when she was a girl the family spun wool from their sheep and dyed it, then took it to a woman in Faulkton who had a rug loom and she wove it into strips about two feet wide. They sewed the strips together and placed it over straw on the floor for padding, and tacked it down around the edges. They were so pleased with their new carpet! It likely was woven by Victorena. Nettie had several remnants of this carpet as sofa protectors in the 1970s. KG
