FAQs

Flatweaves excel—chairs slide easily and cleanup is straightforward. Allow about 24 inches past the table edge so chairs stay on the rug.

Check edges, fringe, and warp for breaks, and look for moth nips or color run. Small, well-done repairs are common and acceptable.

Any wool can attract moths in dark, undisturbed spots. Vacuum under and behind rugs monthly and consider cedar or professional moth deterrents.

Wool dyes can lighten with prolonged UV. Use window treatments and rotate quarterly to balance exposure.

Light shedding is normal early on. Suction-only weekly vacuuming helps; shedding typically drops after several weeks.

Fringes and long pile can tangle. Use boundary strips and suction-only heads, and lift the rug’s edges before runs.

Röllakan is roughly “RUR-lah-kahn.” Rya is “REE-uh.”

The Skåne (Scania) region is famous for röllakan traditions. Many sought-after patterns trace to workshops and guilds there.

Vintage pieces often appear as runners and mid-sizes (around 5×7 to 6×9). Modern offerings also follow US standards like 5×8 and 8×10.

Expect stylized florals, checks, and geometrics in soft blues, greens, ambers, and neutrals. Mid-century palettes pair well with oak, birch, and white walls.

Flatweaves are excellent—low pile, easy to clean, and wool resists soiling. Skip long-pile rya in food zones or with heavy shedders.

Small ones often can on a gentle, cold cycle if the label allows. Air-dry flat; wet rugs get heavy and can stretch.
