Flatweave Wool & Silk Blend
When exploring flatweave wool & silk blend, 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, 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
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.
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.
