Rug, flatwoven, grey/handmade, 200x300 cm

Wool is a practical natural material that usually comes from sheep. The raw wool is washed and then spun into yarn. Wool rugs have many advantages. They're soft, warm and comfortable to walk on, and they're also very hardwearing. They're stain-resistant too, because wool has it own natural oil. This means that dirt stays on the surface and doesn't penetrate into the rug. All wool rugs shed - some more, some less - vacuum them regularly to prevent the loose fibres from scattering.

Our rugs are different, just like every home. Each one is handmade by skilled artisans using their special weaving technique where the natural materials with different textures, patterns and colours create an authentic feel. These are limited-edition rugs where the design and style are updated frequently. So choose the one that suits your home best and enjoy a unique work of art that can withstand wear and tear for many years.

The pit loom, as the name suggests, is positioned over a pit, and the wooden frame is angled for horizontal weaving. The artisan sits underneath the frame, and controls it with foot pedals and their hands, crafting rugs with intricate patterns and designs. This setup enables working from both above and below the frame, achieving a very tight weave. Producing a rug with this technique takes about 2-3 days, resulting in a work of art that can add character to any home.

"A Swedish weave structure called Monk’s Belt inspired me when I created the pattern on KNYLHAVREN rug. The combination of traditional and modern design creates a playfulness that I like. The surface is mostly flatwoven, but I chose to give some squares a slightly taller pile to create an exciting dynamic. The fact that the rug is also handwoven from wool makes it both unique and durable. Perfect to place on the floor in your living room or bedroom and enjoy for many years."
