Description
The Nolbarne is a low pile pure wool rug whose charm is all at the edge. A plain field of soft, pale sage green runs out to a wavy scalloped edging of deeper seagrass, and that edging is cut to shape, so the rug itself has a rippled outline rather than straight sides with a printed trim. Look closely and the sage shows a gentle fleck, which keeps it reading as a muted green instead of a flat block of colour. The pile is 100% wool, kept short at 1cm, which gives a soft, warm feel underfoot while staying neat. We offer it in three sizes: 120 by 170cm, 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm.
Choose by the space you have. The 120 by 170cm rug suits a reading spot beside an armchair, the foot of a bed or a small study. The 160 by 230cm size is the one many people pick for a living room, sitting under the front legs of a sofa with a coffee table at its centre. The 200 by 290cm rug is a size often chosen to go under a dining table or to pull a larger seating area together. The quiet sage sits with pale walls and wooden floors alike, and the darker scalloped line gives a plain room a playful shape without adding a busy pattern.
The rug is 1.5cm thick, so if it will sit where a door swings across it, check the gap beneath that door first. The maker advises spot cleaning only. When you vacuum, use a low suction setting and keep the beater or roller bar off the pile. Before you order, mark the size out on the floor with masking tape so you can see how it sits with your furniture, and on a smooth floor such as boards or tiles, lay an underlay beneath it to help keep the rug in place.

Frequently Asked
Will a new wool rug like this shed?
Some shedding is normal at first. The maker says shedding comes naturally with a new rug, so a few loose fibres while it is new are no cause for concern.
What should I do if a thread works loose?
Trim it level with the surrounding pile using a pair of scissors. The maker is clear that a loose yarn should never be pulled.
Can I brush or scrub out a mark?
No. The maker asks that the rug is never brushed or scrubbed, so treat a mark gently and keep to the spot itself rather than working the pile around it.
Can this rug go in a bathroom?
We would not put it there. The maker advises against using this rug on damp or wet surfaces, so it belongs in dry rooms such as a living room, bedroom or study.
How should I store or move the rug?
Roll it up whenever you need to move or store it. The maker advises against folding this rug, so rolling is the way to keep it flat and tidy.
