Know before you buy
The rug is crafted using high-quality leftover wool from other production processes. This sustainable practice reduces waste while maintaining the integrity and soft, thick feel of the hand-spun Chiapas wool.
While it is technically a low-pile flat-weave, the hand-spun nature of the wool gives it a surprisingly thick, substantial feel underfoot. It offers a rustic, tactile quality that is softer than typical machine-made flat-weaves.
Because the rug is dyed using traditional methods with local plants and insects, the colors are authentic to the Oaxacan weaving heritage. However, natural dyes can be sensitive to direct sunlight, so it is best to avoid placing the rug in areas with intense, prolonged UV exposure to prevent fading.
This rug is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas like a bedroom, study, or living room. Since it is not machine washable and does not have a non-slip backing, it is not ideal for high-traffic zones or spaces prone to spills.
No, this rug does not have a non-slip backing. We recommend using a high-quality rug pad underneath to keep it securely in place and to provide additional cushioning on hard floors.
This rug is not machine washable. For regular maintenance, gently shake it out or use a vacuum on a low-suction setting without a beater bar to avoid damaging the fibers. Spot clean spills immediately by blotting with a clean, dry cloth.
