Know before you buy
The hand-sheared texture creates a subtle, organic variation across the surface. While it provides a distinct tactile experience, it remains comfortable and supportive due to the high-quality New Zealand wool.
Yes, the Nova rug is specifically designed for high-traffic areas. Its hand-knotted construction and durable New Zealand wool make it resilient enough to withstand daily use in busy households.
Because each rug is hand-knotted by artisans, there will be subtle variations in the weave and texture. These unique characteristics are intentional and ensure that your specific piece is one-of-a-kind.
The rug features a low pile height with a variation of up to 0.25 inches. This makes it easier to vacuum and maintain compared to high-pile rugs, as dirt and debris are less likely to become trapped deep within the fibers.
It is normal for high-quality wool rugs to experience some shedding, especially during the first few months of use. Regular vacuuming without the use of a beater bar will help manage this and keep the rug looking its best.
