Introducing the Soft Melody rug, a stunning piece from our "Soft Melody" collection. This contemporary rug originates from India, specifically from the region around Agra. Handwoven by skilled artisans who practice traditional techniques, this rug embodies a beautiful blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and innovation.

The Soft Melody rug is crafted using a combination of imported long-staple New Zealand wool (comprising 50-75% of the blend) and either superior local wool or South African wool. This luxurious blend ensures a lustrous finish that surpasses rugs made solely from local wools. The imported New Zealand wool is carefully hand-carded and hand-spun into yarn, supporting the local economy and promoting sustainable practices.

Noteworthy is the unique single-ply characteristic of the yarn used in the Soft Melody rug. Unlike the common two-ply yarns, each knot incorporates a single thread. This results in a thicker and denser yarn, accompanied by a nubbier texture with pronounced knots, enhancing both tactile and visual appeal.

The Soft Melody rug is renowned for its 6x6 quality, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship involved. Its robustness and design clarity are a testament to the density achieved in the weaving process.

This rug features a 100% wool pile and is constructed with a cotton foundation. The tightly spun cotton warps and mostly double-wefted construction add durability to the rug, with a pile height of approximately 3/8 inch. The handspun nature of the yarn ensures subtle color variations, enriching each rug with a unique aesthetic achieved through artisanal dyeing techniques.

To maintain its vibrant hues over time, the Soft Melody rug is dyed using high-quality chromium (or chrome) dyes. These superior dyes resist fading, ensuring the rug retains its enchanting colors for years to come. The chromium dyes used are primarily sourced from Switzerland and applied to the wool in India, combining international expertise with local resources.

The Soft Melody rug measures 8'11" x 12'0". Immerse your space in the captivating allure of this exquisite rug, representing a harmonious fusion of tradition and contemporary design.
