Chobe Rug - 65cm X 133cm
Chobe Rug - 65cm X 133cm
Hand woven wool rug in a design inspired by the colours and wildlife of Chobe National Park in the northern region of Botswana. Perfect to liven up your floor or walls and a beautiful way to create texture and colour to your room. A collaboration with the Oodi Weavers in Botswana. At the workshop, wool is hand-spun then dyed over an open fire and finally woven.
Handmade wool rugs offer excellent durability and should last a lifetime if properly cared for. Attend to stains or spillages immediately. Mop the affected area gently using a solution of soap and cool water. Avoid steam cleaning as colours may run. Dry on a flat surface. Loose fibres are common in hand made rugs. Trim them carefully with scissors.
Each rug takes between 3-8 weeks to produce (size depending).
Over time all materials will fade in strong sunlight. Our rugs are reversible and it is advised to turn them from time to time.
