Washable Wool Rugs
Washable rugs don't have to look washable. We use washable yarns and creative construction to design rugs with our artisan partners that look good and feel good. How do we do it? Thoughtful materials like plant fibers, natural wool, and recycled polyester are all durable, washable, easy to clean, and easy on the eyes.

Hand-knotted washable wool rug
- 100% New Zealand wool on recycled PET warp
- You may find traces of dried hay, grass, or straw in your rug as grazing sheep often collect plant matter in their coats. Remove gently by hand or with tweezers.
- Authentic wool fibers were used to weave this rug. Please note that when wool gets damp, it will smell like a wet sheep. This is the scent of lanolin, which acts as a waxy barrier against dirt and moisture.
- Low pile: approximately .3" thick (7-8mm)
- Color palette: cantaloupe, salmon pink, coral, terracotta, faded brick
- This piece can be thrown in the washer! Click the Care tab to learn more.
- We strongly recommend you pair this piece with a rug pad for comfort and longevity
- Due to its handmade nature a 5% variance in size, color and texture is to be expected.
Care
- Rotate on occasion to ensure even wear over time.
- The first few times you wash your rug, there will be some fluff left in the washing machine. Don’t be alarmed; this will lessen and ultimately stop. The yarn continues to open after washing, making the rug fluffier with time.
- Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only.
- Hot tip: when you receive your rug, put it in the dryer for 10 minutes on low heat to remove any creases.
- When it's time for a deeper clean, machine wash your rug with like colors on a delicate setting with 1 TBSP of unscented, clear detergent.
- For sizes 6'x9' and 8'x10', we recommend using a 60-lb washing machine (the large kind you find at a laundromat) rather than a home washing machine, which is usually 20-25 lbs.
- For sizes 9'x12' and above, spot cleaning is best.
- Be sure to wash rugs according to their recommended washing machine size capacity. Please note: failure to adhere to size recommendations could result in damage to your machine.
- A slight shrinkage of up to 5% can be expected for all washable rugs
- Due to the hand-crafted nature of our rugs, you can expect to see light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber and thread breakage over time. For high traffic areas, these effects may occur more quickly and easily.
- Spot cleaning instructions:
- Lightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water
- Gently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain
- If the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile.
- Repeat this process until the stain is removed
Details
The Collection
The washable Roppongi Collection pays homage to Japanese and organic minimalism with unexpected compositions, balanced motifs, and tonal simplicity. Hand-knotted with premium New Zealand wool, Roppongi’s construction gives it a low profile that’s ideal for washing and spot cleaning.
The Design
Mori’s spacious striped design plays with linearity and nuanced color.
The Material
New Zealand wool is a premium wool beloved for its softness and long fibers. Like all wools, it has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, and lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. It's woven onto a recycled PET warp 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 products, they’re also Good Weave certified, which guarantees high quality and trustworthiness across the board.
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.
