Undyed hand-knotted wool rug

Rug Type:
  • Hand-knotted Rugs

    Sturdy pile rugs meticulously woven by hand, with individually hand-tied knots, so no two are exactly alike

Age:
  • New

    Recently woven and never used in a home

Main Color:
  • Beige, Cream
  • Undyed New Zealand wool pile on cotton foundation
  • Medium pile: approximately .39” thick (10 mm)
  • Slight variations in size due to handmade nature
  • Color palette: cream, bone beige, sandstone, tan
The Collection

Named for its undyed yarn, the Natural Collection combines a soft, neutral palette with bold graphic designs. Reminiscent of a traditional Afghan weave, these rugs have a shaggy, ridge-like design that brushes down in one direction. Their geometric motifs are softened by the hand-spun wool’s natural wildness.

The Design

These pieces have a thick flatweave border detail which magnifies the manicured shag texture that makes up the body of the rug. The James rug features three large framed blocks which feel minimal and playful at once.

The Material

This rug has a hand-knotted pile of New Zealand wool, a premium wool beloved for its softness and long fibers, which we mix with European wool for strength. Artisans separate the curly wool into like tones, which adds subtle movement to each area of color. Because undyed wool is relatively unprocessed, less of its lanolin is stripped out, making it both stronger and softer and ultimately, even more luxurious. In this collection, it’s handwoven onto a cotton foundation for further durability.

The Maker

Our partner is a small, family-run operation based in Bhadohi, with an in-house spinning mill, dying plant, weaving unit, and washing unit. They’re invested in researching new weaving technologies, especially when it comes to improving environmentally-sound practices.

The Designer

Our in-house, all-star design team collaborates across three different countries. Based in Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai, they put a lot of thought into each and every collection they design. Starting with the weave itself, they determine material and technique, then create moodboards to capture the look and feel before starting to design. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and color before it goes to production.

  • Clean regularly with a non-rotary, low powered vacuum without a beater brush.
  • Rotate your rug on occasion to ensure even wear over time.
  • To spot clean, dab a damp cloth on the affected area immediately.
  • Keep away from excessive moisture. Do not dry clean or steam clean.
  • Professional cleaning recommended as needed.

You do need a rug pad
Here's why

Why You Need a Rug Pad

While we recommend a rug pad for all rugs, they’re especially important for flatweaves, whose slim profile requires extra padding.

A rug pad prevents unwanted bunching and sliding, adds a subtle lift, and gives your rug a more cushioned feel underfoot.

Our rug pads are made of recycled felt and natural rubber, whereas lesser rug pads’ thin, sticky web can damage your flooring.

Moisture and mildew resistant, a rug pad stops dirt and grime from settling in your rug’s fibers.

The right rug pad

A must-have for flatweaves and other lower-pile pieces, a rug pad is the secret ingredient to maintaining your rug’s appearance and longevity. Width-wise, you’ll want to trim your rug pad so it’s 1-2” shorter than your rug on all four sides. Height-wise, we offer two premium rug pad options, both made of cozy recycled felt and natural rubber.
