How do I care for a runner?

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush head to protect the hand-spun wool pile from unnecessary friction. Rotate the piece occasionally to ensure even wear across high-traffic hallway sections.

Are these runners durable?

The dense wool construction and tight knotting make these textiles exceptionally tough for daily hallway use. Using a suitable underlay prevents slipping and cushions the foundation against hard flooring.

Where were they woven?

Weaving centres span the Kurdish regions of Persia, Anatolia, and parts of the Caucasus. Nomadic groups and village communities produced these pieces using localized motifs and dyeing traditions.

How do I spot natural dyes?

Natural dyes display subtle tonal variations known as abrash, where the colour shifts gently across the wool. These plant and insect-derived colours age gracefully, developing rich patinas over decades of light exposure.
