Otto Hand-Knotted Cotton Wool Rug

Hand-knotting is a labor-intensive process that creates a highly durable rug capable of withstanding high-traffic areas. Because each knot is tied individually by hand, the rug is less likely to unravel or lose its structure over time compared to machine-made alternatives.

Initial shedding is a common characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and is not a sign of poor construction. It will naturally subside after a few weeks of regular vacuuming as the loose fibers from the manufacturing process are removed.

With a medium pile height of 0.55 inches, this rug offers a plush, cushioned feel that provides warmth and comfort without being overly shaggy. It is substantial enough to feel luxurious while remaining easy to clean and maintain.

Because this rug is handmade by artisans, you should expect slight variations in color and pattern placement. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that your rug is one-of-a-kind.

The rug features a recycled cotton backing, which provides a soft base. However, we recommend using a rug pad to prevent slipping, protect your floors, and add an extra layer of cushioning.

For routine maintenance, vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment to avoid damaging the fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; avoid rubbing, which can push stains deeper into the wool blend.
