Measure your hallway while leaving a uniform border of exposed floorboards around the edges to frame the textile properly. Take into account door clearance paths so the rug does not obstruct movement when entering or leaving adjacent rooms.

Are these runners durable for heavy corridors?

Wool pile combined with dense hand-knotting provides natural resilience against constant footsteps in busy household thoroughfares. Using a quality underlay beneath the textile prevents slipping and absorbs impact to protect the foundation threads over time.

How do I identify a Kurdish runner?

Kurdish pieces frequently feature repeated geometric medallions, powerful lattice designs, and saturated indigo or red wool backgrounds. Local village methods often produce slightly irregular formats with robust handling and thick hand-spun pile.

How should I clean my runner?

Gentle surface brushing and careful professional washing maintain the lanolin content within the natural wool pile. Avoid harsh chemical treatments or soaking, which can damage natural dyes and weaken the cotton foundation.
