Description
The Tamette runner rug pairs a natural jute body with a lilac border that curves in soft scallops. The jute is braided in a long rectangular coil, so the surface reads as a warm, honey-toned weave with a gentle ripple of texture rather than a printed pattern. Underfoot it has the natural, ridged feel of braided jute. The rug is 90% jute and 10% wool: the jute makes up the whole field, and the maker uses wool for the binding that traces the scalloped outline. Each one is handwoven. It comes in a single size, a 67 by 200cm runner.
A runner of this length and width suits a hallway, a landing or the floor beside a bed, where a long, narrow shape fits a space that a wider rug would crowd. The lilac binding gives natural jute a lighter, more playful outline than a straight edge, so the runner brings a touch of colour to a plain floor without asking for a bold scheme around it. Jute adds warmth and an earthy texture that sits comfortably alongside pale wood, painted walls and simple furniture, an easy choice for a home that leans towards natural materials.
At 6mm thick the runner has a slim profile, which matters where a door opens across it: measure the gap beneath the door first. The maker's care is to spot clean only, treating marks where they appear. Before you order, measure your hallway or landing so the runner leaves an even margin of floor on each side, and on a smooth floor an underlay helps keep it in place.

Frequently Asked
Can I put this jute runner in a bathroom?
We would keep it out of one. Jute absorbs moisture easily, so the maker advises against damp places: it is not for a bathroom or a cellar, and a dry hallway or landing suits it far better.
What should I avoid using when I spot clean it?
Avoid bleach, ammonia and any other harsh cleaning product, because the maker warns that they can damage the fibres of the jute and the wool binding.
What should I do if a loose fibre appears?
Trim it neatly with a pair of scissors. Pulling a loose fibre can cause the braid to unravel, so the maker recommends cutting it level instead.
Is the scalloped edge on every side of the runner?
Yes. The scallops run along both long sides and across both short ends, and the whole outline is bound in lilac wool, so the curve continues unbroken around the runner.
