Complete your setup
The shag pile descends from the Anatolian tulu, a pile-heavy yatak rug woven for warmth on the floors of Central Anatolian winter rooms. The form crossed into mid-century interior design through Scandinavia and California in the 1960s, and the long-pile rug has been a fixture of the modern living room ever since.
Two weavers at the loom for six to seven weeks. The structure was built up by feel against a charted plan, with the wool spun, dyed and packed in the same workshop. Every step of the work is by hand, which is why the surface carries the slow tonal drift that distinguishes a hand-made carpet from anything industrial. The piece will continue to settle into itself for the first months of use.
The composition
The composition rests on a gray register. The figures move across the field at a measured density, with the negative space holding as much weight as the marked geometry. The colour will continue to settle across the first months of use, as the wool oxidises against ambient light and the dye finds its final saturation. The colour relationships in the field will tighten as the wool settles into the foundation across the first months of use.
The piece in a room
5' x 8' fits the conversation circle of a working living room or the foot of a queen-size bed. The rug becomes the visual ground of the arrangement; the architecture and the lighting are read against its palette rather than the other way round. The piece sits well across stone, timber, and engineered floors.
Care
Care for a flatweave is straightforward. Vacuum weekly on suction with the bar disengaged, and reverse the rug at the seasonal change to share the wear between both faces. Cool water and a mild detergent handle most spills if treated immediately and blotted from the outer edge inward. Professional cleaning at three-year intervals lifts the deeper dust the vacuum cannot reach.

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?
Most metros (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata) receive their order in 3-5 business days. Tier-2 cities take 5-7 business days, and remote pin codes (J&K, North-East, Andamans) take 7-10 business days. Use the pin-code checker above for a concrete delivery date.
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.
Can I get a sample before buying?
Yes — we send 2-3 small yarn / pile samples for ₹500 (refundable against your purchase). Message us on WhatsApp with the SKU and your shipping pin code to arrange a sample.

Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery in original condition (rolled, not folded; no pet hair, smoke, or stains). Email care@rugsville.in or message us on WhatsApp with your order number — we arrange free reverse pickup in most pin codes. Refunds are processed within 3-5 working days of receipt at our warehouse.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes. Custom-size, custom-colour, and custom-design hand-knotted carpets typically take 4-8 weeks depending on size and complexity. Minimum custom-order size is 4'×6'. Send us your brief on WhatsApp with the room photo and dimensions for a quote.
