Description
Konvarne is a traditional wool runner with a deep navy ground and two oval medallions set down its centre, each filled with soft pink roses and sage green leaves on cream. A cream border runs all the way round inside a narrow navy band, and scrollwork in caramel, gold and taupe links the medallions to that border. The low pile has a textured look, with every motif standing out from the navy field, so the pattern reads clearly from a standing height. It is hand tufted from 100% pure wool and comes in one size, a 67 by 210cm runner.
The runner shape suits a hallway or a landing, where it covers the walking line and softens a hard floor underfoot. At 210cm long it also sits well along the side of a bed, so the first step in the morning lands on wool rather than cold boards. The maker means the range for use all through the home, so it works just as well in a dining room or a study. Because the pattern has a clear centre and a border on every side, it looks finished from either end, which matters in a hallway seen from the front door and from the stairs.
It is hand tufted with a 1cm wool pile and a total thickness of 1.5cm, so before you lay it just inside a door that opens inward, check that the door clears that height. The maker's care is to spot clean only and to vacuum on a low suction setting without the beater bar, and to keep the runner dry, so it belongs in dry indoor rooms. On a smooth wooden or tiled floor an underlay helps keep a rug in place, and before ordering we suggest marking out 67 by 210cm with masking tape to see how much floor it covers.

Frequently Asked
Will this wool runner shed at first?
Yes, a little. The maker notes that some shedding is natural while a rug is new, so expect a few loose fibres at first and lift them away as you vacuum.
What should I do about a loose strand of yarn?
Trim it with sharp scissors and never pull it, because pulling a tuft can draw out more yarn from a hand tufted rug.
How should I store the runner when it is not in use?
Roll it rather than fold it, since the maker advises against folding. A loose roll keeps creases out of the wool and the backing.
How do I treat a spill on this navy runner?
Deal with it as a spot clean on the mark itself and work gently. The maker advises against brushing or scrubbing the rug, so avoid both and take care not to soak the wool.
Is a pure wool runner a sensible choice for a hallway?
The maker describes this hand tufted, pure wool rug as long lasting, which counts for most in a hallway or on a landing that takes footfall every day.
