Description
Drelmarne is a low pile rug in soft silver, hand woven from a blend of 80% wool and 20% polyester. The surface is a close weave of small rounded loops. While it reads as a plain rug across the room, up close you will see fine streaks of darker grey running through the pale silver yarn, which gives the texture real depth. The maker had a relaxed, beachy feel in mind, and that mix of tones keeps it calm and restful. The wool and polyester blend gives it a soft, pleasant feel underfoot, and the low pile keeps it neat rather than fluffy. It comes in three sizes: 120 by 170cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm.
We would put it in a living room or a bedroom, the two rooms the maker names. The 120 by 170cm size suits the space beside a bed or in front of a reading chair, giving bare feet somewhere soft first thing in the morning. The 160 by 230cm rug sits well in front of a sofa, with the front legs resting on it to draw a seating area together. The 200 by 290cm size is large enough to go under a sofa and its chairs, or under a double bed. Because the colour is a quiet silver flecked with grey, it sits happily with white walls, wooden floors and bolder cushions.
Its pile is 1cm deep and the rug is 1.5cm thick overall, so measure the gap under any door that opens across it before you settle on a spot. For everyday care, the maker advises vacuuming on low suction without the beater bar or roller, and never brushing or scrubbing the surface. Before you order, mark the size out on the floor with masking tape, and on a smooth floor lay an underlay beneath it to help keep the rug in place.

Frequently Asked
Will this wool rug shed when it is new?
Some shedding is a natural property of a new rug, so you may notice loose fibres at first. That is normal rather than a sign of a fault, and gentle vacuuming lifts them away.
What should I do if a strand works loose?
Do not pull it. The maker's advice is to trim the loose strand neatly with scissors rather than tugging it, and to leave the rest of the weave alone.
Can this rug go in a bathroom?
We would not put it there. The maker advises against using it on damp or wet surfaces, so it belongs in a dry room such as a living room or bedroom.
Can I fold the rug to store or move it?
Please do not fold it, as the maker advises against folding. If you need to move or store it, roll it loosely instead and keep it somewhere dry.
How do I deal with a spill?
The maker's care is spot cleaning only, so treat just the marked area rather than the whole rug, and avoid soaking it, since the rug should be kept dry.
