Bold Colourful Area Rugs

The Wicklewood Diamond flatweave rug is inspired by Guatemalan designs from the archive of Lilly de Jongh Osborne's textile collection. The adventurous combination of blues, pinks and greens in a geometric design is finished with a striped border and hand knotted fringe. This rug has a lighthearted artisan feel and will make your space a happy place. This rug measures 5 feet wide by 8 feet long (152cm by 243cm) and is a flatweave rug handwoven in India. This rug is woven from blended New Zealand wool. Flatweave rugs are made using a weaving technique in which the yarn is completely intertwined, so there is not any yarn protuding to create a pile. The warp strands are woven with the weft strands to create the foundation of the rug and the pattern. The texture and design of the rug is dependent on changing colour, size and texture of the weft strands and each rug will vary. The process of weaving flatweave rugs is very time and labour intensive and the end results are colourful intricately designed rugs show the same design on both sides.
