Wool rug - Cartmel (offwhite)

Cartmel is a hand-woven wool rug that gives the room a warm, natural feel, whatever your interior style. It's woven by hand in India and is GoodWeave certified, an independent certification against child labour in the rug industry, a reassurance you can feel right from the rug's origin.

The surface is built from thick, plied wool yarns that form a dense pattern of small, rounded loops. The texture feels alive, catches the light, and is pleasant to walk on. Wool is a natural material that keeps its shape and loft year after year, while the fibres breathe and regulate temperature naturally: cool in summer, warm in winter.

The weaving is done on a cotton warp with a wool weft, a craft that demands precision throughout the process to give the surface its distinct, tactile texture. The long fringes along each edge provide a considered finish.

It's a rug to live with in the living room, hallway, or bedroom, year after year.

Material

Wool

Wool is a natural, living material with a long tradition in rug weaving. The fibres are shape-stable and spring back into place after being pressed, which means the rug keeps its shape and appearance for years. Wool breathes and regulates temperature naturally, so the rug is comfortable to walk on both summer and winter, while the material naturally resists dirt and stains.

Care Instructions

How do I care for my wool rug in the best way?

Vacuum the rug when needed, but on low suction and without a brush or rotating nozzle, to remove loose fibres and dust. Rotate the rug regularly to even out wear and preserve its appearance for longer.

Some rugs can carry a smell from manufacturing and transport, so we recommend (if possible) airing your rug outdoors before use. Make sure the rug is protected from moisture and damp.

Air the rug outdoors from time to time to freshen it up, but avoid strong direct sunlight, which can fade the colours. Avoid beating the rug, as this can damage the material.

How do I wash my wool rug?

In case of spills, dab gently with a light, undyed cloth. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can push the liquid deeper into the fibres. If you're unsure how to handle a stain, we recommend contacting us via our contact form before starting the cleaning process. Feel free to attach photos of the whole rug and the stains so we can help as effectively as possible.

Use mild soap and lukewarm water for lighter cleaning, and use water sparingly, as wool can be damaged by excessive moisture. For deeper cleaning, we recommend professional rug cleaning, especially for larger stains or a general refresh. Please note that we are not responsible if you use a third party for cleaning the rug.
