Tiger head wool rug – Bongusta

Handmade wool rugs have small variations in pattern and thickness because they are crafted by people, not machines. This gives each rug a unique character. Machine-woven rugs are identical in production but lack the fine details and density in the wool that craftsmanship provides. Handmade rugs also typically last longer because the knots are tighter.

Yes, a handmade rug is a personal housewarming gift that lasts for many years. It’s practical because it can be used in several rooms, and it holds value as craftsmanship.

Use a thin wooden rod or curtain rail that you thread through the rug’s top edge if it has an opening. Alternatively, sew discreet straps on the back and hang them on small nails. Avoid using tape or glue directly on the wool as it can leave marks. The rug should hang freely so the wool is not stretched or deformed over time.
