Soumak rugs are a unique and beautiful type of rug that is made using a centuries-old weaving technique. The weavers work by wrapping each weft over four warps, then pulling the wefts back through the first two warps, and on and on until a textile is formed. This technique creates a strong and durable rug that is reversible, with one side being more fine-tuned and vibrant, and the other side having a more rustic feel.
Soumak rugs are perfect for any room in your home, and they can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your décor. They are also very durable, so they can withstand even the most high-traffic areas.
Here are some care instructions for your Soumak rug:
- Shedding is normal and will diminish with regular vacuuming.
