Jute Loop Rug Russet

A loop pile rug with jute and wool

A loop pile rug with jute and wool

• Jute and wool on cotton foundation
• Medium pile: approximately .3″ thick (8mm)
• The shedding quantity and duration varies by foot traffic and rug construction
• We recommend you pair this piece with a rug pad for comfort and longevity
• Due to its handmade nature a 5% variance in size, color and texture is to be expected.

The Design

Soft and straightforward, this rug has a loop pile construction which places it sort of halfway between flatweave and pile rug: just enough cushion and comfort without being super shaggy.

The Material

In this piece, jute and wool are blended for texture. Jute is a natural fiber with a golden sheen, known for its tensile strength and versatility. Wool 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. These are woven onto a cotton foundation for further durability.

The Maker

Our partner in Bhadohi began as a small weaver 40 years ago, and today they focus on sustainable, durable products, as well as creating and maintaining a healthy working environment for their artisans.Many of their processes involve handiwork: hand-picked fleece, handspun wool, hand-knotting, hand-carving and embroidery.

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.

• Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only.
• Professional cleaning recommended as needed
• Rotate your rug on occasion to ensure even wear over time.
• Keep away from excessive moisture.
• 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.
• Do not dry clean or steam clean
• 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.
