Dhurrie Wool & Silk Blend

When exploring dhurrie wool & silk blend, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. The dhurrie is India's signature flatweave — woven on horizontal pit looms in cotton or wool, reversible, lightweight and beautifully simple. Dhurries have been part of Indian homes for centuries, traditionally used in summer for their cool, breathable feel.

Coupled with this, our wool-and-silk blend rugs offer the best of both fibres — the durability and resilience of pure wool combined with the lustrous highlights of silk. Master weavers use wool for the structural pile and accent silk in motifs, medallions or borders, creating a layered visual effect that shifts as you walk around the room.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a dhurrie and a kilim?

Both are flatweaves, but dhurries are an Indian tradition (often in cotton, with simpler stripe/block patterns) while kilims are Turkish/Persian in origin (typically wool, with more complex geometric motifs).

Can I machine-wash a cotton dhurrie?

Small cotton dhurries (up to about 3x5 ft) can usually be machine-washed cold on a gentle cycle. Larger pieces should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned to maintain shape.

How much silk is in a wool-silk blend rug?

Most of our blends are 80% wool / 20% silk, with the silk used for highlights and motifs. We can produce custom blends from 90/10 to 50/50 depending on your aesthetic and budget.

Are wool-silk blends easier to care for than pure silk?

Yes — the wool backbone makes them more forgiving of foot traffic, vacuuming and the occasional spill. We still recommend professional cleaning every 2-3 years.
