Caring for a hand-knotted rug
Unroll and smooth the pile by hand in one direction.
Vacuum weekly, following the pile direction rather than against it.
A felt rug pad reduces knot stress on hard floors.
About this rug
Hand-knotting takes time that machines can't replicate, each row tied by hand rather than looped by a mechanical head. The result is a denser, more durable pile that holds a pattern crisply for years instead of blurring into a flat mass after a season of foot traffic. Our weavers use New Zealand wool and set the pattern with plant-based dyes in traditional motifs, working from memory and skill passed down through practice. It's the kind of rug that's meant to be walked on daily and still look intentional a decade from now.

What happens after the first weeks of use
Unroll and brush flat
Pile straightens out after a gentle brushing in one direction.
Pattern sharpens
Knots settle and the motif becomes visually crisper underfoot.
Dense, settled pile
Rug reaches its full density and holds pattern clearly under daily use.
How each rug is hand-knotted
Wool selection
Long-staple wool is chosen specifically for hand-knotting strength.
Warp setup
Cotton warp threads are stretched on a loom frame to hold the pattern.
Knot by knot
Weavers tie each knot by hand, row by row, following the pattern chart.
Trim and wash
The finished rug is trimmed even and washed to set the pile before packing.
Common questions
What makes hand-knotted different from machine-made? +
Each knot is tied by hand around the warp threads, which packs the pile denser and holds the pattern sharper over time than machine tufting.
Is it suitable for a living room with heavy furniture? +
Yes, the dense knotted construction handles furniture weight and daily walking well.
Why does it cost more than other rugs? +
It takes considerably longer to knot by hand than to machine-tuft a rug, and that time shows in the density and pattern clarity.
How should I rotate it for even wear? +
Turn the rug a quarter turn every few months if it's in a sunny or high-traffic spot.
What customers say
"You can feel the difference in density compared to a tufted rug we had before. The pattern edges are so crisp in person."

Harold M.
Customer
"Beautiful craftsmanship, definitely a statement piece. Rotated it after a few months like recommended and wear looks even."
