Description
This hand knotted Oushak rug sets soft peach, apricot and ivory floral palmettes against a muted slate blue ground, framed by a wide ivory border of trailing blue and peach vines. Every knot is tied by hand onto a cotton foundation, row by row, and finished with a hand-tied fringe. The cool blue and warm peach balance each other, so the rug feels calm and fresh rather than heavy and traditional.
Why hand knotted
Hand knotting is the oldest and most durable way to make a rug. The weaver ties individual wool knots around a cotton warp, row by row, then beats each row down and clips the pile by hand. Nothing is glued: there is no latex, no scrim and no backing cloth. The structure of the rug is the knots themselves, which is why the pattern shows on the reverse and why the fringe is the warp itself rather than something sewn on.
In everyday use that means no adhesive layer to dry out or crumble, no delamination, and a rug that can be professionally washed, repaired and re-fringed for decades.
Materials and craftsmanship
The pile is hand-spun wool, dyed in small batches before weaving. Hand-spun yarn takes dye with subtle variation, creating gentle tonal movement (abrash) across the slate blue field. The foundation is cotton warp and weft for long-term stability. Each rug is woven in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, the carpet belt of India, then hand clipped, washed, stretched and finished.

Styling and placement
The slate blue reads as a soft neutral, while the peach palmettes add warmth. It looks beautiful on light oak floors with linen or cream upholstery, peach or blush accents, marble and brass. It suits transitional, coastal, French country, traditional and soft modern interiors.
For a three-seat sofa layout, 8 x 10 ft lets the front legs of all seating sit on the rug. A queen bed wants 8 x 10 ft; a king bed wants 9 x 12 ft. For a six-seat dining table, choose 8 x 10 ft so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.
Care and longevity
Hand knotted rugs shed very little. Vacuum with suction only, beater bar off, and avoid the fringe. Blot spills immediately. Professional washing every three to five years is enough, and rotating twice a year keeps wear and sun exposure even. Because the wool is dyed and knotted by hand, allow slight colour variation between batches and a size tolerance of up to 2%. With a rug pad and reasonable care, expect decades of use.

Questions, Answered
Everything you want to know before you buy
Handmade rugs raise real questions — about wool, shedding, sizing and shipping. Here are ours, answered plainly.
Are your rugs safe for pets and children?
Yes. Our rugs are crafted using natural wool and non-toxic dyes without chemical-backed coatings. Wool is naturally stain-resistant and flame-resistant, making it a great choice for family homes. If a loop is accidentally pulled by a pet, simply trim it carefully with scissors rather than pulling it.
Do I need a rug pad underneath it?
We highly recommend using one. A quality rug pad helps prevent slipping, protects your flooring, adds extra comfort underfoot, and extends the lifespan of your rug by reducing wear from daily foot traffic. It's especially beneficial on hardwood, tile, and other smooth surfaces.
Can I order a custom size or colour?
Yes. Almost everything we make can be woven to your dimensions and palette, including round, runner and oversized pieces. Custom orders take about 4-6 weeks. Send us your measurements and a colour reference to start.
How should I clean and care for my rug?
Vacuum weekly on a low setting. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth — press, don't rub. For anything that has set, use a professional rug cleaner. Avoid soaking the rug, bleach, and steam cleaning.
Do wool rugs shed, and for how long?
Yes, light shedding is normal during the first few weeks. These are loose fibers left from the finishing process and will gradually reduce with regular use. Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting (without a rotating beater bar), and shedding typically settles within about a month. It is a natural characteristic of quality wool rugs.
No question matches that. Message us and we'll answer it directly.
