Description
The uniqueness of our Cotton and Merino Wool Rug lies in its one-of-a-kind status, meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional quality of the natural fibers used.
Handwoven on a traditional wooden loom using an intricate twill weave technique, this rug stands out for its vibrant and highly textured fabric. Made from a blend of premium merino wool (70%) and cotton (30%), it features a jute backing that adds durability while helping to prevent wear and tear over time. Its thick weave provides excellent insulation and retains heat effectively.
The design and creation process is lengthy and painstaking. Ana and Francis expertly weave each rug, thread by thread, using only their hands and feet. They carefully attend to every detail, from edge stitching to prevent unraveling, to sewing the jute backing. Additionally, each piece is hand-washed with natural soap and steam-ironed manually.
Combining meticulous craftsmanship with exceptional fiber quality ensures that this rug will grace your home with enduring charm for years to come.

My visit to Ana y Francis Tejedores’ atelier took place in January 2022. I fondly remember being surrounded by an array of colors and textures, listening to the rhythmic sound of the looms that Ana and Francis skillfully operated with their feet and hands. Their notebooks, revealed the meticulous creation of each woven piece and sketches for future designs. The serenity inside the workshop blended with the beauty of the exterior landscape, displaying a palette of green, blue and ochre hues.
Touching their scarves and feeling the softness of their rugs and blankets, I could sense the care they put into their craft. Meeting Ana and Francis was a pleasure, and I am very grateful for the warm treatment they gave me and my six exceptional friends who accompanied me, enhancing the experience even further. It was a memorable visit for all of us.

DIMENSIONS: 72x150cm / 110x180cm
COLORS: Base of two shades of beige, woven in ochre colours
MATERIALS: 30% Cotton, 70% Merino Wool. 100% jute woven bottom.
Cotton is a textile fiber with exceptional qualities: it’s soft, flexible, durable, absorbent, breathable, and very versatile. It can be used in both summer, offering freshness and lightness, and winter, providing warmth and comfort, depending on the thickness of its yarn.
Merino wool comes from the fleece of Merino sheep, known for its high quality. It’s very soft, flexible, breathable, and warm, making it ideal for retaining heat. Our Merino wool comes from native sheep in Extremadura, raised with care and respect to ensure excellent quality and softness.
Jute is a vegetable fiber mainly obtained from the white jute plant. It has insulating and antistatic properties, as well as low moisture retention. This material is an excellent sound insulator and does not cause skin irritation. It is widely used as a resistant and durable textile.
WARMTH: high
FINISHES: The rug features hand-sewn selvedges of weft thread splices on the edges, as well as overlocked edges to prevent the fabric from unraveling. Additionally, it has a jute lining sewn both by machine and by hand to add quality and durability.
CARE: To preserve the quality of the rug and prevent possible damage, we recommend:
Washing: hand washing with neutral detergent and cold water. For large rugs, dry cleaning or professional laundering is advised due to their weight.
Drying: To dry, roll a towel onto the clothesline and clip the rug with two pegs, hanging it vertically to avoid marks and facilitate ironing if necessary.
Ironing: It’s not necessary to iron, but if you choose to do so, use the recommended wool temperature setting on your iron. The rug usually looks good without ironing.
