About
This rug is so insanely soft, it’s like a sweater underfoot. This pattern is inspired by abstract artist Edna Andrade, queen of the stripe! Its strong design will elevate your space, while the neutral palette and cozy cut pile make it extremely livable for years to come.
- 75% wool, 25% cotton
- Pile: High and low cut pile
- Note on pricing: this rug uses an advanced weaving process requiring the highest level of craftsmanship, which is reflected by the price (versus the simpler, traditional flat weave process).
- Handwoven by V-Weave, a Craftmark certified, ethical manufacturer of wool rugs
Process
Block Shop is thrilled to partner with V-Weave, one of the oldest and most prestigious family-run weaving cooperatives in India, for our ongoing collections of rugs and pillows. Our rugs are woven from dyed cotton, jute and wool. Our pillows are 100% organic woven cotton with linen backs.
Craftmark certified, V-Weave is best known for their inventive use of traditional Indian natural materials –handspun Himalayan wool, Bengali jute, Gujarati cotton– in wildly textured pedal weaves, shags, and loop pile rugs and textiles.
Block Shop’s collaboration with V-Weave supports the livelihoods of 250 spinners, dyers, and weavers.
Care
Vacuum at least once a month to keep your rug clean. Spot clean pet stains and spills with paper towels immediately. Apply baking soda on the area and allow it to soak up the liquid for a few minutes. Then, vacuum up the baking soda.
For tougher stains, apply a mixture of vinegar and baking soda as a paste, *or* regular dish soap, and then rinse with wet paper towels or a sponge. You may also hang your wool rug outside and power clean with a strong hose, letting it dry in bright sun.
