Complete your setup
Shag is the carpet form that lives between cloth and pelt. The deep pile descends from the Central Anatolian tulu and crossed into the European interior through Scandinavia in the 1950s. What it offers is sound damping and visual softness; what it asks for is patience with vacuuming.
The piece occupied Two for six to seven weeks. Yarn was hand-spun and dyed in small batches before any of it reached the warp. The composition grew row by row from a charted plan worked out in the studio, then washed at finish to bring the surface to its final register and settle the dye against the foundation.
The composition
The work is built on a brown register. The geometry is sized for room scale, not for the photograph. Across distance the field reads as a single colour with movement inside it; on close approach the small variations in tone and weave become visible as the trace of a slow, hand-dyed process. The piece is built to be lived with rather than displayed, and it will deepen in colour and tighten in feel across its first year on the floor. The piece is built to be lived with rather than displayed and will continue to settle across the first year of use.
The piece in a room
At 5' x 8' the piece works as the conversation floor of a contemporary flat. The composition extends past the front of the seating arrangement, with enough margin between sofa edge and rug border that the design reads whole. Pairs naturally with brass, walnut, and brushed bronze; reads cleanly against pale lime-washed walls.
Care
Care for a flat-structure rug is light by nature. Weekly suction-only vacuuming, with the rug rotated or flipped end for end every six months for balanced wear. Spills are blotted with a dry cloth, then a damp one if needed, and addressed only with cool water and a mild detergent. Send the piece for a professional dry clean every three years.

Day-to-day care
- Vacuum gently once a week without a rotating brush bar — use the suction-only setting on hand-knotted or hand-tufted pieces.
- Rotate the rug 180° every 3-6 months so foot traffic and sunlight wear is even.
- Use a quality rug pad underneath for slip resistance and to extend life.
- Blot fresh spills immediately with a clean white cloth — do not rub. Work from the edge of the spill inward.
Deep cleaning
- Professional dry-cleaning is recommended every 12-24 months for hand-knotted carpets.
- Avoid steam cleaners and hot water on natural-fibre rugs (wool, silk, jute) — they can cause shrinkage and dye bleeding.
- For washable flat-weaves and cotton dhurries, machine-wash on a gentle cold cycle in a mesh bag.
Storage
- Roll (do not fold) the carpet around a clean cardboard tube, pile-side in.
- Wrap in breathable cotton sheeting (not plastic) and store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space.
- Use moth-protection sachets if storing wool for more than a season.

Frequently asked
How long will shipping take?

Will the colour exactly match the photo?
Each carpet is hand-crafted with natural-dye yarns, so a small variation in shade, pattern density, and tone is expected and is part of the authenticity of a handmade piece. Colours on screen also vary by monitor and lighting. If you are matching a specific decor, request a yarn sample before ordering.
