Lalita Hand-Knotted Area Rug

The rug has a total thickness of 1 inch. This consists of a 1/4-inch flatweave base with a 3/4-inch high-pile texture, providing a plush, cushioned feel underfoot.

Because of its 1-inch thickness, you should measure the clearance between your floor and the bottom of your door before purchasing. It is thicker than a standard flatweave rug and may obstruct doors that sit low to the ground.

To maintain the texture, vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment to avoid damaging the fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or professional steam cleaning, which can strip the natural oils from the New Zealand wool.

While the 100% New Zealand wool is durable and naturally resilient, the high-pile design is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas like bedrooms or living rooms to preserve its plush appearance and softness.

This certification ensures that the master artisans in Bhadohi, India, who hand-knot the rug are paid fair wages and work in safe, ethical conditions. It guarantees that your purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for the weaving community.

Yes, we recommend using a rug pad underneath the Lalita rug. A pad will prevent slipping, provide extra cushioning, and protect both the rug’s backing and your flooring from wear.
