Metronome Rug from Block Shop Textiles
Metronome Rug from Block Shop Textiles
Block Shop’s Metronome Rug is designed in a neutral palette of camel, oatmeal, faded black, & cream. Perfect for the bathroom or kitchen, or if you’re crazy like us, you can use as a beautiful wall hanging. Reversible cotton flatweave rug. Size is 60 x 90 cm or 2 x 3 ft.
Process
Block Shop’s heirloom dhurries are woven by a family of master weavers outside Jaipur, India. They start with watercolor sketches, which Block Shop interprets onto traditional two-person looms with hand-dyed cotton. Woven over the course of several months, their dhurries are as durable as they are beautiful.
Care
Dhurries are lightweight yet virtually indestructible. We suggest using a rug pad underneath for extra cushion and to keep the rug in place. Vacuum regularly, spot clean as needed.
For washing machines without an agitator, wash in cold water on gentle cycle and air dry flat. If your washing machine does have an agitator, do not machine wash (agitator can damage rug). Instead, thoroughly hose down rug with garden hose / power hose, scrub spots with a sponge, using gentle dish soap or laundry detergent, then rinse. Air dry.
