Description
Konvarne is a traditional round rug in blue. A wide blue field surrounds a cream floral medallion at the centre, and a cream band of pink flowers and leafy scrolls circles it, finished with a plain blue outer ring. The pattern has a textured look, so each flower reads clearly against the blue. This is a low pile rug of 100% wool, hand tufted, so the surface is short and even rather than deep, and wool gives it a natural feel underfoot. We offer it in one size, a 120cm round.
The maker intends this design for use around the home, and a 120cm round is a flexible size. It sits neatly beside a bed, so the first step of the morning lands on wool rather than bare boards, or in front of an armchair to mark out a reading spot. In a small living room or a bedroom it can take the centre of the floor, with the medallion as its focal point. A circle also softens a room full of straight lines from floorboards, tables and doorways. What you gain is a traditional floral design that brings colour and warmth to a smaller space without crowding it.
The rug is hand tufted in wool, with a pile height of 1cm and an overall thickness of 1.5cm, so if a door opens across the spot you have in mind, check that it clears that height first. The maker's care is spot cleaning only, and the rug should be kept dry, so choose a room where the floor stays dry rather than one prone to splashes or damp. Before you order, lay a 120cm circle of string or masking tape on the floor to see how much of the room it covers, and on a smooth wooden or tiled floor an underlay helps keep a rug in place.

Frequently Asked
Will this wool rug shed when it is new?
The maker says some shedding is natural for a new rug, so a few loose wool fibres in the vacuum early on are nothing to worry about.
How should I vacuum the rug?
Use a low suction setting and avoid the beater or roller bar. The maker also advises that you never brush or scrub the pile.
What should I do if a strand of yarn comes loose?
Trim it level with the rest of the pile using a pair of scissors. The maker is clear that you should never pull a loose strand out.
Can I fold the rug to move or store it?
No, the maker advises against folding this rug. If it needs moving or storing, roll it loosely instead so the pile and backing stay in good shape.
