Nature provides the best materials for our floors. Renewable sources such as wool and jute, create long lasting rugs, reducing our dependence on man-made fibres.
At The Rug Trader, wool rugs such as Dakota, Dribble, Charm, Joy, Ray, and Ripples, and Jute Rugs, such as Marigold and Swarn, depict how natural resources and hand woven craftsmanship is a more practical and a contemporary solution. The wool used is pure and undyed, making it our contribution for a better earth.
Why natural fibres matter?
One should focus on the raw material while choosing an eco-friendly floor covering. The natural origins of jute and wool make them the optimum natural fibre rug materials for clients preferring eco-friendly and natural, rather than man-made fibres.
The life of the rug is equally important. The longer it stays, the lesser is the replacement. Natural wool rugs are not only soft, but they are also insulating and resilient. On the other hand, natural jute rugs have texture and an earthy tone.
Wool: Renewable warmth and every day resilience.
The natural comfort, durability and warmth that comes with wool makes it a prominent choice for floor coverings since generations. Premium wool rugs are warm under foot have insulating properties and are resilient in nature.
The Rug Trader’s, Dakota is made from 100% natural wool, with a handwoven All-loop pile. It’s neutral tones and understated look with a modern wool styling, perfectly suit the Scandinavian interiors. Dribble, also made with 100% natural wool, but has a cleaner loop pattern, creating a more structured texture for contemporary as well as minimalist interiors.
Charm, also 100% natural wool comes in a tip-sheared pattern with a controlled depth, and a refined finish. Ray on the other hand has a basket, weave pattern inculcating handcrafted texture, and adds a natural insulation to your space.
For rooms, were softness and natural materials are priorities like your living rooms and bedrooms. Joy is the perfect choice. Joy is made from 100% wool with a thick All-Loop construction. It has a pebbled, dense surface, creating a cushioned comfort. On the other hand Ripples, though also 100% wool construction creates a gentler rippled effect surface, giving depth without the heavy look. Both these designs portray how large wool rugs can feel luxurious without depending on synthetic or man-made fibres for the excessive shine or patterns.
Undyed Wool: Let the fibre be the colour.
The concept of natural materials is enhanced by the use of undyed wool; this in turn avoids the colour dying processes. This means less chemicals, fewer progressions and at the same time, letting the natural fibre become a part of the aesthetic.
Undyed wool rugs, beautifully compliment timber, stone, linen, and warm neutral interiors. If you are looking for a natural rug or pure woollen rug with an organic look, this would be a perfect choice for you.
Handwoven craft: a lower energy, production philosophy

The Rug Trader relies on skilled hands, rather than the automated machinery. This production philosophy reduces our dependence on electricity. Improving our environmental footprint, making it the perfect choice of handmade rugs, wool rugs, and handcrafted rugs for an eco-conscious interior.
