Slub Rug

The slub technique uses yarn with intentional variations in thickness, which creates a tactile, slightly uneven surface. It offers a rich, organic texture that feels substantial and grounded rather than perfectly smooth.

Yes, the flatweave construction and durable New Zealand wool make it a sturdy choice for high-traffic zones. However, because it is a low-pile, handwoven piece, we recommend using a rug pad to prevent slipping and to protect the fibers from excessive wear.

This rug requires careful maintenance. You should spot clean spills immediately by blotting—never rubbing—with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning or stubborn stains, professional cleaning is required to preserve the integrity of the natural wool fibers.

Wool is naturally durable and resistant to dirt, but the handwoven, textured nature of this rug can be prone to snagging from pet claws. If you have pets, place it in a lower-traffic area where their activity is minimal.

A rug pad is essential for this flatweave design to provide necessary cushioning, prevent the rug from sliding on hard floors, and extend the life of the wool by reducing friction against the floor surface.
