The Design
Subtle, sophisticated, and soft: what more could you want in a rug? In the Halo Rug, Sweater meets Rock Star to create a perfect hybrid. Its ground is an angel-soft hand-carded wool: the ultimate in quiet luxury. Hand-carding requires skill and attention, and we use a kilim-style weave to show off the yarn’s natural texture. A blend of New Zealand wool and European wool creates a natural abrash effect from cream to beige to brown. The touch of color comes in from its cotton warp, shining through the wool weft around the edges and fringe, like a frame or a halo.
The Material
All-natural, hand-carded, hand-spun New Zealand wool is a premium wool prepared in a premium way. Beloved for its softness and long fibers, it’s hand-carded, which is the traditional technique used to prepare fibers to be spun into yarn. Carding separates and straightens the wool fibers, transforming them into a roll of wool (called a rolag or a batt) that’s more easily spun. In this rug, we combine New Zealand with European wool and weave this onto a cotton warp for 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.
About Custom Rugs
It takes approximately 13-14 weeks to produce and ship a custom piece, where it then arrives at our warehouse for a final inspection.
Because our custom rugs are woven by hand, there will be natural variations in color, and final sizes can vary by up to 2″ in length and width.
