Natural inconsistencies are inherent in these unique, handcrafted rugs

• Artisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and primitive shapes-like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals


• A gazelle motif represents both grace and dignity


• A minimalist, midcentury design with art deco elements

The Material

New Zealand wool is a premium wool beloved for its softness as well as its long fibers. Like all wools, it has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, and lanolin which both provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. It\'s woven onto a sturdy cotton warp for added durability.

The Maker

Our partner is the third weaving generation of his family, and heads a small weaving house known for their unparalleled skill. A perfectionist with color, he and his team take great pride in their work, which is evident in their final product.

• 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.


• Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only.


• 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.


• 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




• From time to time you may spot tiny flecks of dried hay or grass woven within the fibers-traces of the grazing pastures where the sheep once roamed. These can be removed by hand or with tweezers.


• Because this rug is made from natural wool rich in lanolin, it may release a subtle sheep-like scent when damp. It\'s simply the fiber\'s natural character, and it will disappear once dry.
