Description
Walbelle is a pure wool runner in Natural: a soft cream centre framed by a wider band in a slightly deeper natural shade. The two tones sit close together, so from across the room they read as one calm colour. Up close, a fine line marks where centre and border meet, giving the plain field a tailored finish. The low pile is soft and lightly textured underfoot, and the fibre is 100% wool throughout. It is woven on a hand loom and comes in one size, a 67 by 200cm runner.
At 67cm wide and 200cm long, this runner suits a hallway or a landing, where it softens the walk along a narrow floor and takes the chill off boards or tiles. It works just as well laid beside a bed, so your first steps of the morning land on wool instead of a cold floor. The quiet colouring sits easily with light wood and neutral schemes. Because the design rests on its border rather than a busy print, it will keep working as your furnishings change. There is real substance in it too: the pile holds 1600g of wool to each square metre, which gives the runner a reassuring weight and body underfoot.
The pile is 1cm high and the runner is 1.5cm thick overall, so check the clearance under any door that swings over it before you order. Care is gentle: the maker advises spot cleaning only, vacuuming on low suction without the beater bar, and never brushing or scrubbing. It should never be folded. Measure your hallway or landing first so a strip of floor shows along each side, and on a smooth floor an underlay helps keep the runner in place.

Frequently Asked
Does a new wool runner shed?
Yes, some shedding is natural in a new rug and is no cause for concern. If a strand works loose, trim it with scissors rather than pulling the yarn.
Can I put this runner in a bathroom?
We would not, as the maker advises against using it on a damp or wet surface. It belongs in dry rooms such as a hallway, landing or bedroom.
Why choose a wool runner for a hallway?
Wool gives a soft feel underfoot, and the maker describes this rug as long lasting, which matters on a hallway or landing you walk every day.
Can I shampoo or steam clean this runner?
No. The maker's care is spot cleaning only, so treat a mark where it falls and avoid brushing, scrubbing or cleaning the whole runner at once.
How should I store the runner when it is not in use?
Roll it up rather than folding it, since the maker advises never folding this rug, and keep it somewhere dry, away from any damp.
