There is so much versatility in the world of rugs, from distinct constructions to materials, patterns and tones. Within the category of handmade rugs, hand-knotted rugs offer an incredibly defined pattern and unique durability. Artisans tie each knot by hand on a large loom, allowing for a high density of knots per square inch. Most of the handmade rugs at McGee & Co. are made from wool or a wool blend, and this especially rings true for the hand-knotted rugs in our collection.

When styling a home, we love the process of selecting the right rug for the space. A rug sets the foundation of a room by anchoring the space with its tone, texture, and surface area. Whether you are looking for a rug with a neutral palette and subtle motif or a rug with a bolder palette and motif, the choice of rug will have a lasting impact on the feel of the room. A hand-knotted wool rug is a great choice for either your living room, dining room, or bedroom the wool handmade rugs are extraordinarily soft underfoot and the hand-knotted construction can make them especially distinct and durable. In such significant rooms as these, choosing pieces with heirloom qualities allows for a design that lasts instead of prompting a desire to switch out the large, key pieces seasonally.

To care for these beautiful hand-knotted rugs, regular vacuuming to avoid dirt build-up and rotation to avoid fading will go a long way. Any wool-safe cleaning detergent will aid in removing spots or stains, but if the spill is substantial, we would recommend seeking out a professional cleaner.
