• What is the Banksia Washable Wool Knotted Rug made from?

This rug combines 100% New Zealand wool on recycled PET warp, a blend chosen specifically to deliver both performance and tactile quality. The wool provides natural softness, breathability, and a rich texture, while the recycled PET adds exceptional durability while maintaining full machine washability. Together, these materials create a surface that's comfortable yet practical, ideal for high-traffic areas and homes. It's a new refined texture built for everyday living, certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 and Care & Fair standards.

• How is the Banksia Washable Wool Knotted Rug constructed?

This rug is loom-knotted by hand, a traditional construction method that creates a dense, durable surface with inherent character. Each knot is individually tied on a loom, forming an 8mm cut pile that feels plush underfoot while maintaining its structure over time. This process allows for natural variation in texture and tone – subtle differences that reflect the handcrafted nature of the rug and ensure no two pieces are identical.

• What sizes and colours are available for the Banksia Washable Wool Knotted Rug?

This rug is available in four versatile sizes to suit different spaces: 160×230cm, 200×300cm, 250×350cm, and 300×400cm. A 15×15cm swatch is also available, allowing you to experience the texture and colour in your home before committing to a full-size rug.

The collection offers six colourways, each inspired by Australian heritage architecture and natural landscapes: Honey, Clay, Eucalyptus, Blue Ash, Blush, and Dark Crimson. Each colour features subtle tonal variation from the abrash-dyed wool, ensuring depth and character that evolves with natural light throughout the day.

• What inspired the design of the Banksia Washable Wool Knotted Rug?

This collection draws from the Banksia flower, an Australian native celebrated for its sculptural beauty and quiet strength. The design translates the plant's rhythmic layers and textured surface into a loom-knotted rug that emphasizes structure, restraint, and natural variation. 

Rather than relying on bold patterns, the Banksia rug creates visual interest through texture alone: a dense cut pile arranged in a regular weave that mirrors the ordered complexity of the Banksia cone. The result is a refined surface with depth and movement, grounded in the resilience and character of the Australian landscape.

• Why does the Banksia Washable Wool Knotted Rug show subtle colour variation?

The subtle colour variation in the Banksia rug comes from the abrash dyed yarn used in its construction. Abrash is a traditional dyeing technique that introduces gentle shifts in tone across the wool, creating depth and movement without relying on pattern. This natural variation is intentional as it softens the structured weave and gives each rug its own unique character. 

• Will the Banksia Washable Wool Knotted Rug stay flat without slipping?

Yes. This rug is built to sit flat and hold its position. Its loom-knotted construction and dense material composition create a stable, grounded surface that resists slipping on most floor types. The low 8mm pile ensures the rug clears underneath doors and drawers without curling or bunching, making it practical for high-traffic areas and everyday living. While the rug performs well independently, a rug pad can be added for extra security on smooth or polished surfaces.

• How do I clean the Banksia Washable Wool Knotted Rug?

This rug is designed to be machine washable (depending on the weight, size, and capacity of your washing machine), allowing you to clean it at home without professional services. For an easy cleaning solution, we recommend spot cleaning first.

For day-to-day care, vacuum gently using a soft brush attachment in the direction of the pile. Skip rotating brushes that can damage the fibres. In high-traffic areas, increase vacuuming frequency and promptly blot any spills with a soft cloth. When washing, use only pH-neutral wool detergents and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. For stubborn stains, opt for a natural wool-specific stain remover.

• How durable is the Banksia Washable Wool Knotted Rug for everyday use?

Highly durable. The hand-knotted construction creates a dense, resilient pile that resists crushing and wear, even in hallways, living rooms, and other high-use spaces. New Zealand wool offers natural elasticity and strength, while recycled PET warp adds abrasion resistance and structural integrity. The rug maintains its form, texture, and colour through machine washing and everyday use – designed to perform over the long term.

• Is the Banksia Washable Wool Knotted Rug suitable for homes with children or pets?

Yes, this rug is built for the demands of active households. The dense, hand-knotted construction creates a resilient pile that withstands pet claws, children's play, and heavy foot traffic without showing premature wear. This easy-to-clean design handles spills, stains, and accidents with ease – simply spot clean or wash at home when needed. This rug maintains its appearance and structure through the daily challenges of family life, offering both aesthetic appeal and peace of mind.
