The pursuit of perfection often overlooks a simple truth – true character emerges from subtle imperfections. Our new Waikato Collection embodies this philosophy, introducing a revolutionary approach to wool rugs that celebrates natural variation through traditional abrash dyeing techniques while maintaining the practicality of complete machine washability. Crafted from premium New Zealand wool and featuring a medium cut pile, these rugs transform the ancient art of abrash – the Persian technique creating deliberate colour variations – into a thoroughly modern expression of sophisticated comfort.
As Australia's pioneer in machine-washable rugs, we continue to challenge conventional limitations in rug design. The Waikato Collection represents the culmination of extensive research and development, allowing us to capture the coveted abrash effect – historically a hallmark of handmade premium rugs – while ensuring these pieces remain completely compatible with your washing machine. This remarkable achievement bridges the divide between artisanal quality and practical living, offering a solution for those who appreciate refined aesthetics but refuse to sacrifice functionality.
