Worth Knowing:
Product Description
Celebrate the quiet beauty of simplicity with our Natural Gabbeh Hand-Knotted Wool Rugs — a serene blend of rustic charm and timeless craftsmanship, designed to bring warmth and authenticity to your space.
Discover Nature’s Unadorned Beauty
Lovingly hand-knotted by Turkoman artisans in the northern province of Aqchae, Afghanistan, these Gabbeh-style rugs honour centuries of weaving tradition. Created using 100% un-dyed, hand-spun wool on a cotton warp, each piece captures the essence of untouched landscapes through its naturally variegated tones.
The subtle, semi-plain patterns reveal earthy hues of cream, grey, and brown, shifting gracefully across the surface — a true reflection of wool in its purest form.
Final Touches of Refinement
After being hand-knotted with care in Aqchae, each rug travels to Pakistan for expert washing and trimming — a meticulous process that enhances both softness and structure, preparing the rug for its new home.
Details That Define:
True Individuality: Yes — no two rugs are exactly alike.
Country of Origin: Proudly hand-finished in Pakistan.
Construction: Hand-knotted, preserving generations of artisan skill.
Knot Count: Over 150,000 knots per sqm, offering a comfortable, mid-density pile.
Pile Composition: Made from 100% natural Wool — soft, strong, and breathable.
Foundation: Crafted on a sturdy Cotton Base for lasting durability.
Preserve & Protect
Keep your Gabbeh rug beautiful for years to come with these simple care tips:
Professional Cleaning: Use specialist services to maintain the rug's natural lustre.
Vacuuming: Use a suction vacuum only to protect fibers; avoid brushes and be mindful of fringes.
Spills & Stains: Blot gently with a clean cloth. Avoid rubbing or using chemical cleaners.
Underfloor Heating Compatibility: Fully compatible — a cozy addition to warm interiors.
Underlay Protection: For stability and surface protection, use a rug-hold underlay.
Elegant and Impactful
Woven entirely from unprocessed, natural wool, our Natural Gabbeh rugs offer not only unmatched texture and comfort, but also environmental responsibility. Free from dyes and synthetic materials, they are biodegradable and naturally flame-resistant, supporting a future without microplastics.
But the impact extends beyond aesthetics. Each rug supports weaving families, preserves heritage techniques, and fosters sustainable livelihoods in underserved regions.
Through fair trade practices, cultural preservation, and conscious design, every rug becomes a symbol of meaningful change.
Bring home the natural grace and soulful tradition of a Gabbeh Hand-Knotted Wool Rug — where simplicity becomes a statement.
Care Instructions
Blot Spills Immediately: If something spills on your rug, act quickly! Use a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel to blot the area gently. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing as that can push the liquid deeper into the fibres. Always blot from the outside of the spill toward the centre to prevent spreading.
Vacuuming: When vacuuming, use only suction and avoid any rotating brushes or beater bars, which can damage delicate fibres. If your vacuum has a brush roll, switch it off or use a setting for delicate rugs. Suction-only vacuuming helps remove dirt without disturbing or damaging the fibres.
Underlay Grip: To prevent slipping and add extra protection to the rug, use an underlay grip (Goochy Grip). This helps keep the rug in place, reduces friction, and provides cushioning, which can prevent wear and tear over time. It also helps with insulation and noise reduction.
Protecting the Fringes: Fringes are delicate and can easily get damaged. Avoid heavy foot traffic over them and be gentle when cleaning the edges. Protect the fringes from the vacuum's reach. If the fringe begins to fray, you can trim it carefully to maintain its appearance.
General Care: Rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear, especially in high-traffic areas.
Professional Cleaning: While regular maintenance is important, professional cleaning is recommended every 1-2 years (depending on traffic). Experts can deep clean your rug using techniques like hot water extraction or dry cleaning, which can remove dirt and stains that home cleaning methods might miss. Professional cleaning also helps preserve the rug's fibres and colours, extending its lifespan.
Colour Varience
Colours in rugs can appear differently depending on the screen you are viewing them on. Variations in display technology, brightness, contrast, and colour calibration can make a rug’s hues look more vibrant, muted, warmer, or cooler than they actually are. Additionally, different devices—such as smartphones, tablets, and computer monitors—may show slight variations in tone and depth. To get the most accurate representation of a rug’s colour, we recommend viewing it in natural lighting when possible and referring to detailed product descriptions for guidance.

Non-Slip Rug Grip – Secure, Protect, and Enhance Your Space
Keep your rugs securely in place with our Non-Slip Rug Grip, designed to prevent unwanted movement underfoot while protecting your floors from color transfer and damage.
Made from 100% polyester, this durable and lightweight rug grip ensures your rugs lay flat and stable, reducing the risk of slips and trips. It also acts as a barrier to prevent color transfer from your rug to the floor, keeping your surfaces looking pristine.
Perfect for use on hardwood, tile, laminate, and more, this rug grip is also suitable for use with underfloor heating, ensuring comfort and safety without compromising performance. Easily cut to size, it offers a customized fit for any rug in your home.
For very large rugs, multiple pieces of underlay may be needed. Simply place them side by side—no taping required. The underlay can be easily trimmed to size with scissors. We recommend choosing a size of underlay slightly smaller than your rug, covering up to 70% of its surface area, as full corner-to-corner coverage is not necessary.

Unraveling the Art: The Journey of Rug Making
Explore the fascinating process of rug making, where tradition meets craftsmanship. From the careful selection of materials to intricate weaving techniques, each rug tells a unique story. Discover the artistry behind every knot and pattern, and learn about the cultural significance and historical roots of this timeless craft. Join us on a journey that reveals the skill and dedication that transform raw fibers into stunning, functional art pieces for your home.
Crafted to Perfection: The Art of Hand Finishing
Each rug is hand-finished through a meticulous process that adds the final touches and enhances its overall quality. Here’s how this process typically unfolds:
Trimming: Once the rug is woven, artisans carefully trim any uneven edges or excess fibers. This ensures that the rug has a clean, polished look.
Shearing: In some cases, the pile height may be adjusted by shearing the surface of the rug. This process creates a uniform texture and enhances the design's visibility.
Washing: Rugs are often washed to remove any dirt or debris from the weaving process. This also helps to set the dyes and enhance the colors, bringing out their richness.
Blocking: The rug is stretched and pinned into place to ensure it maintains its shape and lays flat. This step helps to correct any warping that may have occurred during weaving.
Finishing Edges: Artisans may add decorative fringes or borders to the edges of the rug, which not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also helps to prevent fraying.
Quality Inspection: Each rug undergoes a thorough quality check to ensure it meets high standards. Any imperfections are addressed, and only the best rugs are deemed ready for sale.
This hand-finishing process ensures that each rug is not only a functional item but also a beautiful work of art, reflecting the skill and dedication of the artisans who created it.
