Handmade Wool Flokati Rugs Make a Soft, Warm Floor Covering

Nothing looks or feels like the luxury of pure wool flokati rugs for contemporary interior decor. Flokatis are a traditional art form imported from Greece where sheep herders crafted handmade rugs to use as warm clothing and soft blankets - as well as a floor covering.

Keeping a flokati rug clean

Made from the best quality New Zealand wool, these fluffy, deep pile rugs are easy to care for - try cleaning with a shake and a rake! A small size square or round rug is machine washable on the gentle cycle with mild soap products, while large rectangle ones can be hand washed or cleaned by professionals. The normal color is off-white but different colored dyes offer other decorating options.

A rug from Greek tradition

In generations past flokati throw rugs were hand woven by people who appreciated the characteristics of wool as protection from the environment. However, they are more than just a part of history or a trend of the 1960s, since flokati rugs have become known throughout the world for their luxurious design.

As a natural type of shag, sheepskin is water repellant and fire resistant. Although they have been around for centuries, flokati area rugs are a modern way to decorate any home in style.
