Konvarne Traditional Low Pile Pure Wool Round Rug - Pink

Konvarne is a traditional floral rug in soft pink. A cream medallion filled with pink roses and green leaves sits at the centre of a pink field, and a wide cream ring of flowers and green scrollwork circles it, finished with a narrow band of pink on the outside. The pattern has a textured look, with every flower and scroll outlined so it stands out clearly against the colour around it. The low pile is pure wool and the rug is hand tufted, so you have natural fibre underfoot. We offer it in one size, a 120cm round.

The maker means this rug for use right through the home, and its size decides where it works best. A 120cm round fits beside a bed, in front of an armchair or in the middle of a small study or dressing room, where its circle softens a space full of straight lines. In a larger living room it makes a pretty accent under a small side table rather than covering the whole seating area. It suits anyone who loves traditional florals in gentle colours, and the pink, cream and green sit happily with pale wood, white paintwork and soft furnishings. Because it is round, there is no right way to turn it, so it looks the same from every side of the room.

It is hand tufted, with a pile 1cm deep and an overall thickness of 1.5cm, low enough that most doors should clear it, though it is worth checking the gap under any door that will swing across it. The maker's care is short: spot clean only, with no brushing or scrubbing. Before you order, mark out a 120cm circle on the floor with string or tape to see how it fits the space, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tiles, lay an underlay beneath it to help keep it in place.

Is the pink a bright shade or a soft one?

It is a soft, dusty pink rather than a vivid one, framed by cream and muted green, so the rug feels gentle and warm instead of bold.

Will the wool shed when the rug is new?

A little, yes. The maker says shedding is natural in a new rug, so expect some loose fibres at first and lift them with gentle vacuuming.

How should I vacuum a wool rug like this?

Turn the vacuum down to low suction and switch off the beater or roller bar, which is how the maker advises cleaning this rug.

What should I do if a strand comes loose?

Snip it level with the surrounding pile using scissors and never tug it, because the maker advises trimming a stray thread rather than pulling it.

Can the rug go in a bathroom?

We would keep it out of bathrooms and off any damp or wet floor, as the maker advises against using it where it could get wet. A dry bedroom or living room suits it far better.

Can I fold the rug to store it?

Please do not fold it, as the maker advises against folding. If it has to be stored or moved, roll it instead and keep it somewhere dry.
