What Makes This Rug Special

The Dombeya Rugstands out for its use of blended Mohair and wool, which creates a rug with the perfect balance of softness and strength. The Mohair provides a luxurious feel, while the wool offers durability and resilience. Together, these fibres produce a rug that is not only soft underfoot, but also able to withstand the demands of daily life.

The handwoven technique employed by Shuttleworth Weaving ensures that each rug is crafted with care and precision. This artisanal approach results in a rug that is not only a functional floor covering but also a unique work of art. The blending of two natural fibres also gives the rug a distinctive look, with a texture that is both rich and inviting.

Customisation Options

Shuttleworth Weaving offers a variety of customisation options for the Dombeya Rug. You can select the perfect size for your space, with custom sizing available up to 6 meters by 6 meters. In addition to size, you can choose from a range of colours and finishes to suit your interior design preferences. Whether you prefer a natural, understated look or a more vibrant, eye-catching colour, the Dombeya Rug offers flexibility to meet your needs.

Rug Maintenance Guidelines

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your Dombeya rug, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regularly shake out and turn over periodically.
• Do not vacuum as this will raise fibres and make it look hairy.
• Hand wash in COLD water with wool friendly detergent
• Spot Cleaning: In case of spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it can push the spill deeper into the fibres.
• Professional Cleaning: It’s advisable to have the rug professionally cleaned annually to maintain its appearance and integrity.

The Dombeya Rug is perfect for homes and commercial spaces that demand both luxury and durability. The natural softness of Mohair combined with the strength of wool makes these rugs ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms, dining rooms, and offices. Their beautiful texture adds visual interest and warmth to any space, while their durability ensures they will last for years.

Shuttleworth Weaving’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in the use of natural fibres that are responsibly sourced. The Mohair used in the Dombeya Rug is produced in an ethical manner, supporting both the environment and local communities. Additionally, the handwoven production process supports traditional craftsmanship, ensuring each rug is not only luxurious but also environmentally responsible.

Investing in a Dombeya rug means bringing home a piece that will enrich your space with natural beauty, comfort, and enduring quality. These rugs are more than just floor coverings—they are functional works of art that will stand the test of time.
