Konvarne Traditional Low Pile Pure Wool Half Moon Rug - Pink

Our Konvarne half moon rug brings a traditional floral design to a small space, set on a soft pink ground. At its centre sits a cream medallion holding a pink rose with green leaves, framed by scrolling motifs and a cream border dotted with small flowers, all inside a plain pink outer band. It is a low pile rug in pure wool, so it feels soft underfoot yet stays neat and low, and the motifs stand out from the ground with a textured look. It is hand tufted and comes in one size, 67 by 127cm.

The maker describes this rug as suited to every part of the home, and the half moon shape is what makes this size so useful. Its straight side lies neatly against a wall, a bed or a doorway, while the curve reaches out into the room. Lay it beside a bed for a warm first step in the morning, at the foot of a dressing table, in front of a favourite chair or just inside a bedroom or living room door. Wool is a natural fibre with a warm, soft feel, which is just what you want where bare feet land first.

The pile is 1cm deep and the rug is 1.5cm thick overall, so check that any door swinging across it clears that height. Care is simple but particular: spot clean only, vacuum on a low suction setting without the beater bar, and never brush or scrub the wool. Keep it off damp or wet floors and never fold it. A new wool rug sheds a little at first, which is natural; if a strand works loose, trim it with scissors rather than pulling it. Before you buy, measure the space against the 67 by 127cm size, and on a smooth hard floor lay an underlay beneath it to help keep it in place.

What does hand tufted mean for this rug?

Hand tufting means the wool yarn is pushed through a backing cloth by hand with a tufting tool, then trimmed to an even pile, which lets the floral motifs be worked in detail.

Can I steam clean or shampoo this wool rug?

We would not, because the care for this rug is spot clean only, with no brushing or scrubbing, so steam cleaning and shampooing fall outside what the maker advises.

Can this rug go in a bathroom or kitchen?

We would keep it out of bathrooms and away from sinks, because the maker asks that it is not used on a damp or wet surface; a bedroom, living room or dry hallway suits it far better.

How should I move or store the rug?

Roll it rather than folding it, since the maker asks that this rug is never folded, and rolling keeps the wool pile free of creases while it is put away.

Does the rug have a fringe?

No, it finishes in a plain pink band that runs around the curve and along the straight side, with no fringe to tangle or catch in a vacuum cleaner.
