What Makes These Rugs Good?

  • Made by hand: Every knot is done one by one.
  • Soft wool: We use local or New Zealand wool. It feels nice and lasts long.
  • Old designs: Our rugs have old-style patterns that never go out of fashion.
  • Natural colors: Many rugs are dyed using natural things like plants.
