Dhurrie Wool Rugs
When exploring dhurrie wool rugs, 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, pure wool is the soul of Indian carpet weaving — naturally resilient, stain-resistant and warm underfoot. Our handmade wool rugs are crafted in Bhadohi (the carpet capital of India) using premium New Zealand wool spun on traditional looms by master artisans with decades of experience. Each piece is knotted or tufted by hand, hand-finished and washed with herbal solutions to achieve a soft, lustrous finish that synthetic rugs simply cannot replicate.

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.
Why are handmade wool rugs better than machine-made?
Hand-knotted wool rugs use individual wool knots tied by an artisan, which makes them denser, longer-lasting and reversible. Machine-made rugs use glue-backed synthetic fibres that shed and flatten within a few years. A well-made handmade wool rug from Bhadohi will last 30-50+ years.
Is New Zealand wool better than Indian wool?
New Zealand wool has longer staple fibres and a naturally higher lustre, which produces a softer, shinier finish that takes dye beautifully. We use it for our premium collections, while local Indian wool is used for hard-wearing flatweaves and dhurries.
