Hand-knotted rug with New Zealand wool

• 100% 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.
• Medium pile: approximately 1/3 thick (8-10mm)
• 2″ fringe. Fringe is not included in the overall dimensions above.
• Color palette: emerald green, moss green, olive green, sage green, dove gray, powder blue, cadet blue, rust red, dusty rose pink
• Due to its handmade nature a 5% variance in size, color and texture is to be expected.

The Collection

Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Edith Collection features soft geometric motifs with a muted palette. Craftsmanship and showing the hand was a big part of this decorative trend, so each rug is carefully hand-knotted, dyed with an artisan vintage wash, and made of soft 100% New Zealand wool pile. Their designs play with repetition and negative space, drawing from both folk art and romantic styles, as was typical of the day.

The Design

This rug is a casual floral, an undone rose garden, with earthy blue-green leaves and ground. Arts and Crafts artisans were particularly interested in the natural world, drawing inspiration from its colors and movement.

The Material

This rug has a pile of New Zealand wool, 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. In this collection, its handwoven onto a cotton foundation for durability.

The Maker

Our partner is a third-generation family-run weaving house in Bhadohi, India. They specialize in plush pile rugs, and their immense knowledge helped us improve construction for durability and less shedding. Their values are twofold: creating the highest-quality product and taking care of their team, supporting their weavers in whatever they need.

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

Custom rugs are final sale from the time of purchase. The estimated ship time of your custom item can be found below the “Add to Cart” button and varies based on size. Once the custom piece is is produced it is first shipped to our warehouse for a final inspection before we send it to you.

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.

• Dust and dirt that accumulate in your rug can erode the fibers over time. The best way to combat this is to take your rug outside and give it a good shake every couple of weeks. Depending on how large it is, you may need to recruit a friend to help. Also, be sure to get a rug padthis helps to preserve your rug.
• If shaking it out isnt possible, you can vacuum it insteadjust be cautious, and dont use a rotary vacuum, because it can damage the fibers. Once or twice a month, use the suction attachment gently, from side to side. Once or twice a year, flip your rug over and vacuum the back. To ensure equal wear and protect against walk patterns, change your rug’s direction periodically.
• Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only.
• 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
