Designer thoughts
Designer thoughts
“The inspiration for JULGRANSGRÄS rug came from nature, especially the waves of the sea as they meet the shore and create abstract patterns. The design reflects the same beauty and playfulness, and the long fringes on the short sides enhance the depth and feel of the pattern. And when you walk over the high and low pile of hand-knotted wool, it feels like your feet are sinking into soft sand."
Form design process
Made using the hand knotting weaving technique
Hand knotting is a complex process that gives unique, long-lasting rugs. A skilled weaver ties individual knots tightly around pairs of threads to form an intricate pattern. After completing each row, the weaver compacts the knots with a comb or beater. The process is repeated until the rug is completed, which takes 7-9 days. Hand knotting creates one-of-a-kind rugs, with intricate patterns that are unmatched by any other technique.
Material
What is wool?
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.
