Usually if you want a tight line on a rug, you go as low to the ground as possible-think flatweaves. But for the Watercolor Collection, we wanted to create a blurry effect, like that you see when you look at watercolors. They're not your standard preppy stripe: the more you walk on this piece, the more the line will move, and they'll read even blurrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Material\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew Zealand wool is a premium wool beloved for its softness and long fibers. Like all wools, it has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, as well as lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. It's woven onto a warp that's a combination of wool and sturdy cotton, for body and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur partner is a third-generation family-run weaving house in Bhadohi, India. They specialize in plush pile rugs, and their immense knowledge helped us improve construction for durability and less shedding. Their values are twofold: creating the highest-quality product and taking care of their team, supporting their weavers in whatever they need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Designer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur in-house, all-star design team collaborates across three different countries. Based in Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai, they put a lot of thought into each and every collection they design. Starting with the weave itself, they determine material and technique, then create moodboards to capture the look and feel before starting to design. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and color before it goes to production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Rug Care --\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust and dirt that accumulate in your rug can erode the fibers over time. The best way to combat this is to take your rug outside and give it a good shake every couple of weeks. Depending on how large it is, you may need to recruit a friend to help. Also, be sure to get a rug pad-this helps to preserve your rug in spite of dirt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf shaking it out isn't possible, you can vacuum it instead-just be cautious, and don't use a rotary vacuum, because it can damage the fibers. Once or twice a month, use the suction attachment gently, from side to side. Once or twice a year, flip your rug over and vacuum the back. To ensure equal wear and protect against walk patterns, change your rug's direction periodically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean on low power with a non-rotary vacuum or suction attachment (no spinning brush) only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce a year, let it sunbathe. Hang it in the sun for a few hours when it's hottest, and flip it over midway through, to expose both sides to direct sunlight. This sun-bleaching helps further sanitize the wool. It's a natural method to bleach and deodorize it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a high-quality rug pad to absorb shock and reduce damage to the pile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDue to the hand-crafted nature of our rugs, you can expect to see light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber and thread breakage over time. For high traffic areas, these effects may occur more quickly and easily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpot cleaning instructions: \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepeat this process until the stain is removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom time to time you may spot tiny flecks of dried hay or grass woven within the fibers-traces of the grazing pastures where the sheep once roamed. These can be removed by hand or with tweezers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause this rug is made from natural wool rich in lanolin, it may release a subtle sheep-like scent when damp. It's simply the fiber's natural character, and it will disappear once dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHB","offers":[{"title":"4' x 6'","offer_id":39639437607011,"sku":"SHBR06MTHGR4X6","price":289.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5' x 8'","offer_id":39639437639779,"sku":"SHBR06MTHGR5X8","price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6' x 9'","offer_id":39639437672547,"sku":"SHBR06MTHGR6X9","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8' x 10'","offer_id":39639437705315,"sku":"SHBR06MTHGR8X10","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9' x 12'","offer_id":39639437738083,"sku":"SHBR06MTHGR9X12","price":899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1718\/8557\/products\/1-SHBR06MTHGR9X12-1ove-pastel-handknotted-shag-rug-menthe.jpg?v=1669192867","url":"https:\/\/www.checkout.revivalrugs.com\/products\/pastel-handknotted-shag-rug-menthe","provider":"Revival Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
