Description
Dresette is a cream wool rug with a quiet geometric design: a grid of squares crossed by sweeping arcs that meet to form circles and pointed ovals across the whole surface. The pattern is tone on tone, so it reads as texture rather than colour, with fine lines in the pile outlining each shape for a textured look and a soft, three dimensional depth that shifts as the light moves through the day. It is a low pile rug in 100% wool, and the pile is dense and short, so it feels warm underfoot. It comes in three sizes: 120 by 170cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm.
Because the colour is light and the design restrained, Dresette sits as comfortably in a modern room as in a more traditional one, and it brings warmth to a bare wooden floor without competing with the furniture around it. The 120 by 170cm size suits the side of a bed, a reading corner or a smaller sitting room. The 160 by 230cm size is a good fit for most living rooms, with space for the front legs of a sofa and armchairs to rest on it. The 200 by 290cm size will sit under a larger seating arrangement or a dining table. The maker describes the dense pile as hard wearing as well as warm, which makes it a sensible choice for a room in daily use.
The pile is between 6mm and 1cm deep and the rug is 1.5cm thick overall, so check that any door opening over it clears that height. Care is straightforward: the maker recommends spot cleaning only and gentle vacuuming, with no brushing or scrubbing. Before you order, mark the size out on the floor with masking tape to see how it sits with your furniture, and on a smooth floor an underlay helps keep it in place.

Frequently Asked
How should I vacuum this wool rug?
Vacuum on a low suction setting and avoid the beater bar or roller brush, which is the maker's advice for this rug.
Will the rug shed when it is new?
Some shedding is natural in a new wool rug, and the maker treats it as normal, so a few loose fibres in the vacuum at first are expected.
What should I do if a loose thread appears?
Trim it level with the surrounding pile using scissors. Never pull the yarn, as the maker advises against it.
Can this rug go in a bathroom or kitchen?
We would not put it in either. The maker advises keeping it off damp or wet surfaces, so it belongs in a dry living room, bedroom or dining room.
Can I fold the rug to store or move it?
No, the maker advises against folding it. Roll it loosely instead whenever it needs moving or storing.
Is this rug machine washable?
No, it is not machine washable. The maker advises spot cleaning only, so treat any spill as a spot clean as soon as it happens and keep the rug dry.
