Kids Duryea Blue 4'7 x 7'7 Rug

To maintain the integrity of the hand-woven strips, we recommend regular vacuuming using a suction-only setting; avoid using a beater bar, which can snag the delicate jersey material. For spills, our experts suggest blotting the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For spot cleaning, use a mild detergent with cool water and avoid harsh chemicals to protect the vibrancy of the hand-dyed blue and brown fibers.

With dimensions of 4'7" x 7'7", this rectangular rug is highly versatile. It is an excellent size for grounding a twin bed when placed under the lower two-thirds of the frame. It also functions perfectly as a central focal point in a nursery or as a dedicated "play zone" in a bedroom, providing a cozy, defined area for toys and activities.

Cotton jersey is prized for its exceptional softness and natural fiber composition. Unlike some synthetic alternatives, cotton is breathable and gentle on sensitive skin, making it an ideal surface for children to crawl, sit, and play on. The unique hand-tied jersey strips provide a cushioned, "favorite t-shirt" texture that adds an extra layer of comfort to a nursery or playroom.

While cotton is a durable natural fiber, the artisanal hand-woven and hand-tied construction of this rug makes it best suited for medium-traffic spaces like bedrooms or nurseries where comfort is the priority. To enhance durability and safety in active play areas, we recommend pairing it with a high-quality non-slip rug pad to prevent bunching and protect the floor underneath.

This rug features a meticulous, multi-step artisanal process: the 100% cotton jersey is first hand-dyed, then woven into strips, and finally tied by hand. This hand-crafted approach ensures a unique, traditional look where no two pieces are identical. The result is a soft, colorful, and textured piece that adds both a visual and tactile "handmade" charm to a child's living space.

Natural fibers like cotton are often preferred for health-conscious homes because they do not involve the same off-gassing processes sometimes found in synthetic materials. Because this rug uses woven jersey strips rather than a deep, fuzzy pile, it is less likely to trap large amounts of dust and dander. Regular vacuuming can easily manage allergens, making it a practical choice for maintaining better indoor air quality in a child's room.
