Know before you buy
The ribbed pile is crafted from pure wool, providing a dense, cushioned texture that feels exceptionally soft and supportive. It is designed to offer a plush, comfortable landing pad for high-traffic areas or bedside placement.
Yes, the 24" x 48" dimensions represent the main body of the rug. You should account for a small amount of additional length to accommodate the decorative tasselled fringe on the ends.
As a hand-knotted wool piece, it is best to vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment to avoid damaging the fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and consult a professional rug cleaner for deep stains to preserve the integrity of the wool.
While the wool construction is durable, the ribbed texture and delicate fringe are best suited for lower-traffic zones like bedrooms, home offices, or entryways. Its soft pile is designed more for comfort than for heavy-duty wear.
This certification ensures that the rug was produced under ethical working conditions in India. Furthermore, your purchase directly contributes to The Anganwadi Project, which funds the construction of preschools in the artisan communities where the rugs are made.
