Caring for a hand-knotted rug
First clean: vacuum gently on low suction, avoiding the fringe edges.
Weekly upkeep: rotate high-traffic areas and check fringe knots stay tidy.
Keep a rug pad underneath on hard flooring to reduce shifting and pile crush.
About this rug
Hand-knotting is slow work. Every row of this rug is tied by a weaver at a loom, not printed or tufted through a backing, which is why the pattern reads clearly from both the front and the reverse side. That construction is also what lets the rug take decades of use without the pile pulling loose the way a glued tuft rug eventually will. We use New Zealand wool for the knots and a combed cotton foundation to keep the weave tight and square. The fringe at each end is hand-finished, trimmed and knotted by the same weaver who ties the body of the rug, not added on afterward by machine.

- ✓ No synthetic pile fibre

How a hand-knotted rug ages
Unrolled and flattened
Fold lines from shipping ease out within days of lying flat.
Settling knots
Minor shedding tapers off as the knots bed into daily use.
Pattern holds
Pile and colour stay consistent under regular foot traffic.
Hand-knotted versus machine-tufted
Machine-tufted rugs shed and separate
Tufted rugs glue pile fibre to a backing sheet, and once that glue dries out over years the tufts start pulling loose. The pattern also often only shows correctly from one side.
Knotted, not glued
Every knot in this rug is tied into the foundation by hand, so there's no glue layer to fail over time and the pattern reads clearly from both sides.
Common questions
What makes it different from a machine-made rug? +
Every knot is tied by hand at the loom, which shows in the pattern clarity on both sides. Machine-tufted rugs are glued to a backing instead.
How long does a piece like this take to make? +
Depending on size and pattern detail, a single rug can take several weeks of weaving by hand.
Can I vacuum a hand-knotted rug normally? +
Yes, use a low-suction setting and avoid a rotating beater bar near the fringe to protect the hand-tied ends.
Will the fringe unravel over time? +
The fringe is knotted by hand into the foundation itself, not glued on, so it holds up to regular handling and vacuuming.
What people are saying
"You can tell it's hand-knotted the moment you flip it over, the back looks almost as good as the front. Sits beautifully in our dining room."

"Fringe is neat and tight, not the frayed mess I got from a cheaper rug years ago. Worth the wait for a limited batch piece."
