Handwoven flatweave rug with soft nubby texture
Rug Type:
-
Flatweave Rugs
Reversible rugs without pile, also known as kilims, made by hand-weaving horizontal weft yarns through vertical warp yarns
Age:
-
New
Recently woven and never used in a home
Main Color:
- Gray
- New Zealand and Sardinian wools with cotton on cotton foundation
- Medium pile (approximately .8 high)
- Color palette: smokey gray, pale sage gray, evergreen
- Slight variations in size due to handmade nature
The Design
Charmingly cozy, the Pebble rug has a cheery pebble-like texture and construction which places it sort of halfway between flatweave and pile rug: just enough cushion and comfort without being super shaggy. Its premium wool blend is space-dyed, adding even more visual texture to the yarn.
The Material
Sardinian wool, from the Sarda sheep of the island of Sardinia, is white, long, and warm, with a natural sheen. It's tough, too: sturdy, wiry, and waterproof. New Zealand wool is a premium wool beloved for its softness, shine, and long fibers. Like all wools, it has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, as well as lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. Both wools are mixed with 15% cotton for sturdiness, and handwoven onto a cotton foundation for further durability.
The Maker
Our partner has been weaving for 50 years, inheriting the business from his father. Some of the weavers have been there for that long, too. Devoted equally to treating workers well and developing quality product, they're also Good Weave certified, which guarantees high quality and trustworthiness across the board.
- We recommend that you regularly vacuum your rug to remove dirt and grime. Depending on how heavily your rug is used, just once or twice a month is adequate. Too much vacuuming can wear down the knots and fibers more quickly. If you have a suction attachment on your vacuum cleaner, use that instead of a rotary vacuum.
- Every few months, you’ll also want to flip your rug over and vacuum the back to get the grit out of the foundation of the rug. It also helps to rotate your rug once a year to ensure even wear over time.
- Every 3-5 years, we recommend getting your rug professionally hand-washed. Please do not take it to get steam or dry cleaned—this will almost certainly damage the rug! Hand-washing requires the use of a pH-balanced shampoo, worked into the rug by hand with a soft-bristled brush, before being rinsed thoroughly. This process should be repeated a few times.
- In case of spills, use a paper towel or cloth to blot the liquid. Add some clean water sparingly to the spot to dilute the stain (or wet a paper towel or cloth) and blot. If the stain is persistent, try using a mild detergent. Repeat this process until the stain is removed.
