Hand-Woven Wool & Silk Blend
When exploring hand-woven wool & silk blend, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. Hand-woven rugs are produced on traditional treadle looms where the artisan interlaces warp and weft yarns by hand — a technique that has been practiced in India for centuries. Hand-woven pieces tend to be flatter and lighter than knotted or tufted rugs, with a clean reversible structure and graphic, modern aesthetic.
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 hand-woven and flatweave?
All flatweaves are hand-woven, but not all hand-woven rugs are flatweaves. Some hand-woven pieces have a short pile produced by special loom techniques. The category is broader than "flatweave" alone.
Are hand-woven rugs durable?
Yes — because they have no glue or backing, hand-woven rugs are very long-lived. They're also reversible, so you can flip them periodically to even out wear.
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.
