Description

This rug was hand-woven following ancient techniques by master weavers living in remote areas in the Dry Forest, Argentina. It is a unique textile and it takes around 2 months to make it. It was handmade using pure hand-spun sheep wool. The whole process, since the animal is sheared, takes place within the same family or community

Construction: 

Our rugs do not have any other material on the base, just wool. Both sides of the rug are equal and could be placed facing up.

  • Hand-spun. Lomitas thread, 0.3''-0.7'' high
     
  • Hand-woven in loom 

Wool properties:

The Carded Wool collection introduces a new aesthetic to our signature wool rugs due to an an additional mechanical carding process in its origin.

This extra step offers several key distinctive features:

1. Enhanced Silkiness: The wool is carded and made more homogenous, resulting in silkier, smoother textures 


2. Subtle Undertones & Solid Colorway: This collection is more uniform in appearance, offering a clean-cut and sleek look while at the same time preserving the warmth and interest of our texture.

Thanks to the handmade process our wool keeps all its natural properties:  

  • Eco friendly 

  • A natural temperatura regulator (when its warm the wool naturally cools down and the other way around)
     
  • Flame proof : wool does not set on fire, it will eventually burn down if in a large fire but it won't generate flames.  

  • Stain resistant: since its rich in lanolin, it naturally keeps stains, liquids and dirt away 

  • For more information please visit our FAQ section 

Care and Maintenance: Vacuuming them regularly, softly, and without the use of a brush is the best way to keep them looking always fresh. For more information please visit our Care and Maintenance section.

Lead time: It takes between 12-14 weeks to finish a custom rug depending on the size and design of the rug.
