Joline Natural 5' x 7'6 Rug

Light shedding is a common and natural characteristic of handwoven jute rugs and is not a sign of a defect. This will typically decrease over time. To manage shedding during the first few months of use, vacuum the rug regularly in the direction of the weave to remove loose fibers without agitating the rug's structure.

While 100% jute rugs are prized for their durability, they can often feel coarse or scratchy. This rug features a 28% cotton weave that softens the overall texture significantly. This creates a more comfortable surface that is gentle enough for barefoot traffic while retaining the rustic, transitional look of a natural fiber rug.

To protect the integrity of the handwoven fibers, we recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting; avoid using a beater bar or rotating brush, as these can snag or fray the natural jute. For liquid spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Because jute and cotton are highly absorbent, it is important to avoid steam cleaning or excessive moisture.

Yes. This rug is handwoven with a blend of 72% jute and 28% cotton, creating a sturdy and resilient base. This natural fiber construction is specifically designed to handle the demands of busy areas in the home, such as living rooms, dining rooms, and entryways, while maintaining an elevated aesthetic.

The 5' x 7'6" dimensions are particularly well-suited for urban apartment living or smaller transition spaces. This size is ideal for anchoring a compact seating arrangement—placed under the front legs of a small sofa or between two club chairs—to define the area and add warmth without overwhelming the room's footprint.

We highly recommend the use of a rug pad. With a low profile of 0.25" depth, a rug pad adds necessary cushioning for comfort and provides a non-slip grip that keeps the rug securely in place. Additionally, a pad helps protect your hard flooring and prevents the natural fibers on the underside from wearing down prematurely.
