Due to the unique wool used in production, the Katell collection is one of the most exciting introductions. Fine premium wool is spun using a smoothing technique to produce an extra soft, extra thick yarn. All yarns are then hand spun dyed creating soft variations of color that cannot be duplicated by modern machinery. Combine these features with stunning designs and you have a collection where every piece makes a statement of class!

Will a geometric Southwestern pattern complement my existing furniture?
Southwestern geometric designs are highly versatile statement pieces. They pair exceptionally well with rustic or farmhouse aesthetics, particularly when styled alongside leather sofas or reclaimed wood tables. In a more contemporary or neutral setting, the blue and ivory tones of this specific pattern can serve as a grounded focal point, adding warmth and a sense of "experience" to the room’s design.
How does the "hand-spun dyed" process affect the appearance of a rug?
Hand-spun dyeing is an artisanal technique that produces soft, organic variations in color that modern machinery cannot duplicate. This process gives the rug a unique, multi-dimensional look, ensuring that every piece makes a distinct statement of class. These subtle color shifts are excellent for hiding minor wear and tear, making the rug as practical as it is beautiful.
How does wool perform in different climates, such as humid or dry coastal areas?
Wool is a highly breathable natural material that acts as an insulator, helping to keep rooms cozy in the winter and breathable in warmer months. While wool is naturally moisture-wicking, we recommend using a high-quality rug pad in humid climates to ensure proper airflow beneath the rug, which helps maintain the integrity of the hand-dyed yarns and prevents any moisture from being trapped against your flooring.
How do I properly maintain and clean a wool rug?
To keep a wool rug looking its best, our care guidelines recommend regular vacuuming to manage the natural shedding that occurs with high-quality wool fibers. For spills, it is important to blot—never scrub—the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent mixed with cool water, as wool is sensitive to high heat and harsh chemicals which can strip the natural lanolin from the fibers.
Is a 5’ x 8’ rug size suitable for a smaller living room or an apartment?
A 5’ x 8’ rug is an ideal "anchor" size for compact living spaces and urban apartments. In a smaller living room, placing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs on the rug helps define the seating area without overwhelming the room. It also functions beautifully in a bedroom, where it can be placed horizontally under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed to provide a soft, warm landing.
What are the primary benefits of choosing a wool area rug?
Wool is a premier natural fiber known for its exceptional durability and natural stain resistance. This rug is crafted using a specialized smoothing technique that creates an extra-soft, extra-thick yarn. This high-density construction ensures the rug is resilient enough for high-traffic areas while providing a luxurious underfoot feel that synthetic fibers often cannot replicate.
