Rugsville Hover Multi Hand Made Wool Dhurrie Carpet

A dhurrie is woven flat on a horizontal loom with the weft pressed tight against the warp, building the pattern entirely through the interlocking of coloured yarns. There is no pile to hide behind, which means every colour decision and every line of geometry has to do its work in the open. This multi wool dhurrie carries a geometric composition that emerges from the slow logic of the loom rather than from a paper cartoon, and reads with the graphic clarity that only a flat weave can deliver.

Two weavers spent 3 weeks at the loom. The dhurrie is weft-faced, meaning the wool weft completely covers the cotton warp and carries the entire design. The horizontal loom allows two hands to work side by side, pressing the weft into place with a beater and tying off colour changes by feel.

The composition

The palette runs in multi against a counter-tone that holds the eye without competing with it. Because the weave is flat, every colour change is a hard line; the design resolves with the clarity of a printed graphic but with the depth of hand-spun wool. The horizontal lay of the fibre catches light along its length, which gives the dhurrie a soft sheen that shifts as you move through the room.

The piece in a room

size as listed () sits well beneath a sofa-and-two-chair grouping or a queen bed with the lower two-thirds of the frame on the wool. The piece organises a room without taking it over. The flat profile suits doorways, kitchen edges, and rooms with sliding furniture, and the multi weave is reversible for double the working life. Pair with low timber furniture, woven bamboo, white-washed walls, and natural linen upholstery to let the geometry of the dhurrie set the visual rhythm of the room.

Care

Vacuum weekly on low suction. Flatweaves shed less than pile rugs but benefit from regular surface cleaning to lift fine grit before it cuts the wool. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, then a damp one. The dhurrie is reversible, so flip it once a year to spread wear and double the working life. Professional wash every four to five years if heavily used.
