Natural dye rug

Our soft but thick, strong rugs consist of several layers of wool that have been placed over each other. Felted by hand with the age-old technique of rubbing the woollen fibres with warm water and soap until the material becomes felt. For our floorcoverings we use wool from long-haired sheep like Drenthe Heath, Schoonebeek and Swedish Gotland sheep fleece, which bring skins more to mind. We only use the hairs though – the sheep continue their lives. Our rugs are dyed with natural dyes. Wool’s affinity for natural plant pigment dye is second tot that of silk. We implement ecologically sustainable practices and therefore explore plant dyeing techniques, resulting in for example nuances of mark-making with leaf imprints, each unpredictable and individual. Our floorcoverings are designed as much for the living space as for the home-based office.
