Know before you buy
Hand-knotting is a labor-intensive process that creates a much tighter, more secure weave than machine-made alternatives. This construction method ensures the rug can withstand high-traffic areas while maintaining its structural integrity over many years.
Wool is naturally resilient and has a high memory, meaning it is excellent at recovering from furniture indentations. While some compression is normal, the fibers will generally bounce back once the weight is removed.
The rug features a pile height of 8-9 mm. This provides a substantial, high-quality feel underfoot without being so thick that it interferes with door clearance.
The blend of cream, brown, and black tones is quite forgiving, as the darker geometric patterns help mask minor everyday wear. Because it is made of 100% natural wool, it is also inherently durable and easier to spot-clean than synthetic fibers.
We strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad underneath. A pad will prevent the rug from slipping, provide extra cushioning, and protect both the rug backing and your flooring from unnecessary wear.
