Description
The Tamette runner rug pairs the warm, honey toned natural shade of jute with a soft green border that rises and dips in a wave all the way round. Across the body, the fibres sit in a plaited texture that forms nested rectangles from the outer border to a long, narrow centre, so the pattern comes from the weave itself rather than from a print. It is a contemporary take on a natural rug, made of 90% jute and 10% wool and woven by hand, and it comes in one size: a 67 by 200cm runner.
At 67 by 200cm it is shaped for a hallway or a landing, where a long, slim rug leads the eye along the floor and gives a bare passage some warmth. It works just as well beside a bed, giving you a textured strip to step onto first thing in the morning. The natural colouring sits easily with pale oak, painted floorboards and stone shades, and the green edge brings a gentle note of colour that ties in with sage or olive elsewhere in the room without making the runner loud. What you gain is the honest look of natural fibre with a playful outline that softens a plain, straight space.
This jute runner is 6mm thick, a slim profile, but check the gap under any door that swings over it before you choose where it goes. The maker's care advice is to spot clean only, so deal with a mark as soon as you notice it. On a smooth floor such as wood, tile or laminate, an underlay helps keep it in place. Before you order, measure the length of your hallway or landing and allow a strip of bare floor at each end, so the scalloped green edge has room to show.

Frequently Asked
What material is the green scalloped edge?
The maker binds the edge in green wool, and that soft border gives the natural jute a neat, finished outline with a gentle wave along every side.
Will this jute runner shed loose fibres?
If a few loose fibres appear, the maker's advice is to trim them with scissors rather than pulling them, because pulling can make the weave start to unravel.
Can a jute runner go in a bathroom?
We would keep it out of bathrooms and basements. Jute takes up moisture readily, so the maker advises against damp areas. A dry hallway, landing or bedroom suits it far better.
Which cleaning products should I avoid on jute?
Steer clear of bleach, ammonia and any harsh cleaning products, as the maker warns they can damage the jute fibres and spoil the natural colour of the weave.
