Our Makalani rugs are a celebration of craftsmanship, tradition, and natural beauty. Each piece is woven from 100% Namibian Karakul Wool, handspun to retain its authentic texture and durability. To add an element of softness and structure, a delicate thread of Merino New Zealand Wool is woven throughout, creating an even and refined texture while still embracing the organic irregularities that make these rugs so special.
Every Makalani rug is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Because the wool is handspun and woven using traditional methods, no two rugs will ever be identical. Even if we attempt to recreate a previous design, the variations in the wool and the weaving process ensure that each rug remains entirely unique. This is not just a rug—it’s a bespoke piece of art, crafted just for you.
Handcrafting a Makalani rug takes time. Each rug is woven over a period of approximately six weeks, depending on its size and complexity. The process is meticulous, requiring patience and skill to create a finished product that is both stunning and durable. Unlike mass-produced rugs, which are churned out in factories, these rugs honour the artistry of weaving, with every fibre carefully placed to create something truly special.

The Beauty of Karakul WoolKarakul wool is one of the most sought-after natural fibres in the world, known for its strength, resilience, and rich texture. This unique wool has a coarser feel compared to other wools, but that’s precisely what gives Makalani rugs their timeless character and incredible durability. The wool’s natural curls and variations create depth and warmth, making each rug feel inviting and full of life.
With the added Merino New Zealand wool thread, the texture remains structured but balanced, offering a harmonious blend of rustic charm and modern refinement. The result? A rug that is both visually striking and luxuriously soft underfoot.
