A flatweave rug of hand-carded wool
- 100% hand-carded New Zealand wool on cotton foundation
- 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.
- Flatweave: approximately 0.8" to 1" thick (20 mm to 25 mm)
- Color palette: olive green, evergreen, sage green, chartreuse
- Fiber abrash dyed
- We 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.
The Collection
Hand-carded wool is the ultimate in quiet luxury. Hand-carding requires skill and attention, and it creates an organic movement of colorŃthere's no way to mimic it. In this collection, we use it in a kilim-style weave to show off the natural state of the yarn, creating textured pools of color, in the simplest, most effective way possible.
The Design
Textured and dreamily soft, like your favorite sweater, the sweater rug in forest is a mix of earthy greens with flecks of lighter tones, like light dappled through trees
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, as well as lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. Hand-carding is the traditional technique used to prepare fibers to be spun into yarn, ie, the step before spinning. Carding separates and straightens the wool fibers, transforming them into a roll of wool (called a rolag or a batt) that is more easily spun.
The Maker
Our partner is a small, family-run operation devoted to maintaining the integrity of the yarn they use. Wherever possible they prioritize the use of organic materials, and are committed to a high level of quality and craftsmanship.
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.
- Vacuum on low power occasionally with a non-rotary vacuum to prevent dust and crumbs from setting into the roots of the fibers.
- For hard-to-remove stains, we recommend professional rug cleaning.
- Avoid prolonged direct exposure to sunlight, although leaving your rug out to dry in the sun for a few hours on occasion (1-2 times a year) is actually good for the fibers.
- Don't pull loose fiber ends; trim with scissors to remove.
- Store your rug by rolling it up and wrapping in cloth for protection; don't fold or put in an airtight plastic bag for an extended period of time.
- 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
