Multicolour Rug Tbilisi Zealand Wool

Our team of skilled rug-makers combine modern and traditional processes to create this hand-tufted rug. They scale and enlarge this chosen design to create a graph of the pattern, which is printed onto a canvas and stretched across a frame. The master rug-maker then uses a tufting gun to punch thousands of loops of dyed wool, art silk, or silk through the canvas. By following the printed pattern, he creates this finished rug. He then applies a latex coating (known as a ‘scrim') to the reverse of the rug. The scrim holds the tufts in place before he attaches a final protective backing of natural cotton. The final stage is to shear off the upper layer to create a super-smooth and even pile. Depending on the design, he will then hand-carve the surface to accentuate elements of the design and create a superior finish.

Wash care: Vacuum and rotate the rug regularly. New wool rugs shed naturally, vacuum frequently in the beginning. Dry spots; remove immediately by scraping carefully towards the middle of the spot. Wet spots; do not rub. Absorb with paper, towels, damp with cloth and mild detergent. Professional carpet cleaning when needed.                         Always use the standard floorhead, never the rotating brush, when vaccum cleaning the rug.
