4: Hella Jongerius' wall hangings for Ikea are our fourth most popular story about textiles.

5: in fifth place are Richard Hutten's Playing With Tradition rugs where traditional patterns are stretched into stripes.

6: this cashmere blanket decorated with religious symbols by artist Damien Hirst is in sixth place.

7: seventh place goes to these wool blankets by Icelandic design collective Vík Prjónsdóttir.

8: this rug full of holes by Viennese designer Martin Mostböck was inspired by the scarred surface of the moon.

9: Flat Surgery, Mathieu Lehanneur's series of rugs depicting squashed vital organs are ninth most popular.
