Description
Our Tamette rug pairs the warm, straw-coloured tone of natural jute with a soft peach-pink binding that follows a wavy scalloped border on all four sides. Inside that border the jute runs in rows that look braided, stepping inward as a set of nested rectangles, so the rug carries a quiet pattern of its own while still reading as a plain natural jute rug from across the room. It is 90% jute and 10% wool, woven by hand, and it comes in two sizes: 120 by 170cm and 160 by 230cm.
The scalloped outline gives a familiar natural jute rug a gentle, playful curve, and it suits living rooms, bedrooms and studies decorated in a relaxed, natural scheme. The 120 by 170cm size fits the space in front of an armchair, beside a bed or under a small coffee table, covering a stretch of bare floor without crowding the room. The 160 by 230cm size is large enough to sit under the front legs of a sofa and pull a seating area together, or to lie across the foot of a double bed. The peach-pink binding picks up blush, terracotta and rose tones in cushions and throws, while the natural jute sits comfortably with oak floors and pale walls.
At 6mm thick the rug lies close to the floor, so before you settle on a spot, check that any door opening across it has a gap underneath of more than 6mm. The maker's care for jute is spot cleaning only, so treat marks where they land rather than lifting the whole rug for a wash. Before you order, mark the size out on your floor with masking tape to see how it sits with your furniture, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tile, lay an underlay beneath it to help keep the rug in place.

Frequently Asked
Which part of the rug is wool?
The wool is in the peach-pink binding that runs around the scalloped border, while the main body of the rug is woven from jute, which is where the 90% jute and 10% wool split comes from.
Will this jute rug shed?
Jute is a natural fibre and a stray strand can work loose now and then. The maker's advice is to trim it neatly with scissors rather than pull it, because pulling can start the weave unravelling.
Can this rug go in a bathroom?
We would not put it there. Jute soaks up moisture readily, so the maker advises keeping this rug out of damp places such as bathrooms and basements and using it in drier rooms of the house.
What should I avoid using on a stain?
Keep bleach, ammonia and harsh cleaning products well away from it, as the maker warns they can damage the jute fibres of the rug.
