The DesignHart is unbleached to preserve its natural variation of color, and finely-woven to create a delicate ombre. Bonus: its fine weave also collects less dust.The Material Jute is a natural fiber with a golden sheen, known for its tensile strength and versatility An eco-conscious crop, jute has minimal water needs, and consumes large enough quantities of carbon dioxide that it's carbon-neutral Handspun weft expresses the fiber's natural irregularities and textures Unbleached jute has a desirable variation of hue and texture, which we've played up with a delicate tonal gradation The MakerOur partner is the third weaving generation of his family, and heads a small weaving house known for their unparalleled skill. A perfectionist with color, he and his team take great pride in their work, which is evident in their final product.A Note on Curling Because Hart is so finely woven, moisture in the air can occasionally make its edges curl up. A simple solve for this is to bend back that corner of the rug so you can curl the edge in the opposite direction, rolling it into a little burrito back and forth until it lies flat. See what we mean here . Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only. Professional cleaning recommended as needed. Do not dry clean or steam clean. Rotate your rug on occasion to ensure even wear over time. Keep away from excessive moisture. Due to the hand-crafted nature of our rugs, you can expect to see light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber and thread breakage over time. For high traffic areas, these effects may occur more quickly and easily. Spot cleaning instructions: Lightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water Gently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain If the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile. Repeat this process until the stain is removed
