Kusa
Hand-knotted washable wool rug
Hand-knotted washable wool rug
- 100% wool on polyester warp
- Medium pile: approximately .4" thick (10mm)
- Color palette: olive green, mint green, mist green
- Rug pad highly recommended for comfort, stability, and longevity
- Due to its handmade nature a 5% variance in size, color and texture is to be expected
The Collection
Dotto's hand-knotted washable wool pile forms a textural, geometric design. To create the patchwork of overlapping lines and dots, our team took inspiration from the practice of Boro, a resourceful Japanese mending style that repurposes textiles to create something new.
The Design
Kusa's various green dots, stripes, and solids intersect to create a dynamic angular shape.
The Material
Soft and washable wool has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, as well as lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. In this piece, wool is woven onto a polyester warp for durability.
The Maker
We partnered with a small, family-run weaving house. They're Craftmark-certified, which means they meet stringent national standards for socially responsible handmade products. Many of their weavers have been with them for as long as 30 years. To visit their factory is to be steeped in its personal history, from the walls of photographs honoring their lineage, to the majestic, hundred-year-old timber looms they still use today.
The Designer
Our in-house, all-star design team collaborates across three different countries. Based in Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai, they put a lot of thought into each and every collection they design. Starting with the weave itself, they determine material and technique, then create moodboards to capture the look and feel before starting to design. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and color before it goes to production.
- Clean on low power with a non-rotary vacuum or suction attachment (no spinning brush) only
- Lightly vacuum the rug once a week
- Use a high-quality rug pad to absorb shock and reduce damage
- Hot tip: when you receive your rug, put it in the dryer for 10 minutes on low heat to remove any creases.
- When it's time for a deeper clean, machine wash your rug with like colors on a delicate setting with 1 TBSP of unscented, clear detergent.
- For sizes 6'x9' and 8'x10', we recommend using a 60-lb washing machine (the large kind you find at a laundromat) rather than a home washing machine, which is usually 20-25 lbs.
- For sizes 9'x12' and above, spot cleaning is best.
- Be sure to wash rugs according to their recommended washing machine size capacity. Please note: failure to adhere to size recommendations could result in damage to your machine.
- A slight shrinkage of up to 5% can be expected for all washable rugs
- Due to the hand-crafted nature of our rugs, you can expect to see light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber and thread breakage over time. For high traffic areas, these effects may occur more quickly and easily.
- Light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber or thread breakage may occur over time, depending on the material and weave. In high-traffic areas, these effects may appear more quickly.
- Spot cleaning instructions:
- Lightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water
- Gently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain
- If the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile.
- Repeat this process until the stain is removed
- From time to time you may spot tiny flecks of dried hay or grass woven within the fibers-traces of the grazing pastures where the sheep once roamed. These can be removed by hand or with tweezers.
- Because this rug is made from natural wool rich in lanolin, it may release a subtle sheep-like scent when damp. It's simply the fiber's natural character, and it will disappear once dry.
