Materials & Craftsmanship
Explore the quality of our handmade rugs, including wool materials, hand tufted and hand knotted techniques, durability, texture, and artisan craftsmanship.
Hand tufted rugs are created using a tufting gun to insert wool into a canvas backing, resulting in a thick and soft texture with a faster production process. Hand knotted rugs are woven knot by knot entirely by hand, making them more durable, detailed, and long-lasting. Both styles are handmade, but hand knotted rugs generally require significantly more time and craftsmanship.
Most of our rugs are crafted using premium natural wool, cotton backing, and high-quality dyes. Wool is highly durable, soft underfoot, naturally insulating, and resistant to everyday wear. Some designs may also include blended materials depending on the texture and finish required.
Light shedding is completely normal for new wool rugs, especially hand tufted rugs. This occurs because loose fibers naturally release during the first few months of use. Regular vacuuming without a beater brush helps minimize shedding over time.
Yes. Handmade wool rugs are known for their durability and long lifespan. Hand knotted rugs are particularly suitable for high-traffic spaces such as living rooms, hallways, and offices because of their dense weaving structure.
Small variations in color, pattern, or texture are part of the beauty of handmade craftsmanship. Unlike machine-made rugs, each handmade rug is individually crafted by artisans, making every piece unique and full of character.

Rug Care & Cleaning
Explore the quality of our handmade rugs, including wool materials, hand tufted and hand knotted techniques, durability, texture, and artisan craftsmanship.
For regular maintenance, vacuum your rug gently without using a rotating brush. Clean spills immediately by blotting with a dry cloth instead of rubbing. For deep cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to preserve the texture and color of the wool fibers.
Yes, but use a low-suction setting without a beater bar. Aggressive vacuuming may damage wool fibers or increase shedding. Gentle cleaning helps maintain the rug’s appearance and longevity.
Blot spills immediately using a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as they may damage natural fibers and dyes. Mild soap mixed with water can be used carefully for small stains. Professional cleaning is recommended for stubborn spills.
Yes. A rug pad helps prevent slipping, adds cushioning, improves comfort, and extends the life of your rug by reducing friction between the rug and floor.
Yes, wool rugs are naturally durable and suitable for homes with pets. However, regular maintenance and prompt stain cleaning are important to preserve the rug’s condition over time.

Yes, we accept returns on eligible items within our return policy period. The rug must be unused and returned in its original condition. Custom-made rugs may have different return conditions due to their personalized nature.

If your rug arrives damaged, contact us immediately with photos of the packaging and product. Our team will work quickly to resolve the issue through replacement, repair, or refund options depending on the situation.
Refund processing times vary depending on the payment provider, but most refunds are completed within several business days after the returned rug is received and inspected.

Rug Size Guide
Explore the quality of our handmade rugs, including wool materials, hand tufted and hand knotted techniques, durability, texture, and artisan craftsmanship.
For living rooms, larger rugs usually create a more balanced and luxurious appearance. Ideally, the front legs of your furniture should rest on the rug to help visually connect the seating area.
A dining room rug should extend beyond the edges of the table so chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out. This improves both comfort and visual balance.
Bedroom rugs are commonly placed partially under the bed with extra rug space visible around the sides and foot of the bed. Larger rugs often create a warmer and more inviting atmosphere.
Yes, runner rugs are perfect for hallways, kitchens, and narrow spaces. They add warmth, texture, and protection to high-traffic flooring areas.
