Flatweave Cotton Rugs
When exploring flatweave cotton rugs, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. Flatweave rugs have no pile — they are woven flat on a loom with the weft yarn interlocking through the warp, creating a thin, lightweight, fully reversible rug. This construction has been used across India, Persia, Turkey and the Caucasus for thousands of years for everything from saddle bags to palace carpets.
Coupled with this, cotton rugs and dhurries are lightweight, breathable and remarkably easy to live with. Because cotton is washable and naturally hypoallergenic, our cotton collection is a favourite for bedrooms, nurseries, kids' rooms and casual dining areas. Each piece is flatwoven by hand on traditional pit looms — there is no glue, no synthetic backing, just yarn and weave.

Do flatweave rugs need a rug pad?
Yes — strongly recommended. A quality rug pad prevents slipping, adds cushioning underfoot, protects your floor, and extends the rug's lifespan by reducing friction.
Can flatweave rugs be used outdoors?
Wool and cotton flatweaves are indoor-only. For covered outdoor areas we recommend our recycled PET flatweaves, which are weather-resistant and fade-proof.
Can I machine-wash a cotton dhurrie?
Small cotton dhurries (up to 3x5 ft) can usually be machine-washed on a cold gentle cycle. Larger pieces should be dry-cleaned or spot-cleaned to preserve shape and colour.
Are cotton rugs durable?
Cotton flatweaves are durable for low-to-medium traffic areas. For hallways and heavily used rooms, we recommend wool or jute instead.
