Description
Our Flernelle rug is a pure wool shaggy rug in blue, and up close it is a lively mix rather than one flat shade. Deep teal and paler blue strands sit among brown and cream ones, so from across a room the rug reads as blue, while standing over it you see a speckled, pebbly texture. The pile is made of chunky felted strands of 100% wool, thick and tube-like, and it feels soft and cushioned when you walk on it. The rug is hand woven, and it comes in three sizes: 80 by 150cm, 120 by 170cm and 160 by 230cm.
Because the colours are blended rather than set out in a pattern, this rug is easy to place: it sits comfortably beside blues, greys and natural wood, and nothing else in the room has to match it. The 80 by 150cm size makes a small rug beside a bed or in front of an armchair, so the first step of the morning lands on warm wool instead of a cold floor. The 120 by 170cm suits a reading nook, a study or the space in front of a smaller sofa. Choose the 160 by 230cm for a living room, where it can sit under the front legs of a sofa and draw the seating together.
The pile stands 3.5cm high and the rug is 4cm thick in all, so before you order, check that any door opening over it will clear that height. The maker's care is spot clean only: vacuum on a low suction setting without the beater or roller bar, and never brush or scrub the strands. Keep the rug dry, away from damp or wet floors, and never fold it. Mark the outline on the floor with masking tape before choosing a size, and on a smooth floor lay an underlay beneath it to help keep it in place.

Frequently Asked
Which size works best in a bedroom?
For one side of the bed, the 80 by 150cm is the neat choice, and two of them can flank a double bed. For a single rug that shows on both sides of a double bed, lay the 160 by 230cm across the lower part of the bed.
Will a new wool shaggy rug shed?
Yes, a little at first. Shedding is natural in a new rug, so expect some loose fluff in the vacuum early on. If a whole strand works loose, never pull it; trim it with scissors instead.
Can I put this rug in the washing machine?
No, it is not machine washable. Its care is spot clean only, so treat a mark where it sits and keep the rest of the rug dry.
Can I use it in a bathroom or a conservatory?
We would keep it out of both. The care asks you to avoid damp or wet surfaces, so it belongs in a dry room such as a living room, bedroom or study.
