Block Flatweave Wool Rug

Our Panel Collection is inspired by the rugs of nomadic tribes, who, limited by the size of their loom, would join long narrow panels together.

• We designed a premium custom wool blend which prioritizes the most important qualities of a rug: appearance, durability, and tactile experience. We use 30% New Zealand wool, prized for its softness and luster, 30% Afghan wool for its depth of color and texture, and 40% Sardinian wool, with a natural sheen and long fibers, which means they are strong and shed less.
• Handspun weft expresses the natural irregularities and tones of the yarn.
• Machine-spun warp creates a strong, longer-lasting foundation.
• The mix of natural grey-brown wools, chosen for their hue, means this rug is easily adaptable and plays well with a range of color palettes.

For our Panel Collection, we partnered with a generations-old weaving house in Northern Indiaーthe same factory that produces some of the highest-end rugs on the American market. They helped us obsess over every detail, making endless samples and experimenting with new and forgotten techniques. They are also committed to low-impact production techniques: using local grain byproduct to power the factory, as well as testing and treating their water so it can be reused by local farmers.

• We designed a premium 100% unbleached Sardinian wool blend, known for its natural sheen and long fibers, making it stronger and less likely to shed. We searched for a shade which was both naturally beautiful, as seen in the warm, off-white ground, and would also dye truest to color, shown in the gentle blue accents.
• It was important to us not to bleach the wool, because in so doing you sacrifice many of its natural benefits. These include a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, as well as oils and lanolin which give it a trademark luster, and protect the fiber from breaking and shedding.
• To create the dappled highs and lows of Revival’s own Fog Blue, we space-dyed wool in small batches. This process achieves a watercolor effect, adding depth of color. The dye we use is low-impact, which means no heavy metals and less greywater.
