100% natural wool and natural plant-based viscose blend prayer rug, loom made & hand finished by a team of dedicated artisans in Turkiye, drawing from 500 year old traditional skills & methods.
Our focus is on providing you with a long lasting, resilient, high density, top quality rug in consideration of the full lifecycle impact of production and use, with environmental stewardship, health, and welfare being key drivers.
The predominance of New Zealand and Turkish wool in the rug construction not only eliminates harmful off-gassing associated with many man-made yarns and materials, but also helps these rugs to function as natural air filters, with hypoallergenic properties. A lesser proportion of natural, plant-derived viscose is also blended in with the wool helping to soften the feel, sharpen patterns, and increase durability, whilst avoiding the negative consequences of lower cost polyester and/or nylon based materials. Furthermore, non-toxic, natural dyes have been used in the place of high VOC chemical-heavy processing.
At about 100mm thick, and weighing nearly 3kg, the rug has sufficient mass to comfortably use on hard surfaces such as timber, tile, stone, or concrete flooring without the need for any underlay.
Our TAUFIQ rug draws on a classic Islamic geometrical pattern, repeating over a dark grey base and with a simple neutral colour pallet that quietly compliments and blends with any space. The top two tessellated pattern motifs are differentiated from the rest with a lighter tone, so as to identify the top of the rug, for consistent orientation.
We are confident that with the care and attention to detail we’ve taken in crafting these rugs you will enjoy many years of productive, healthy, and stylish use of your prayer rug and thank you for considering our products.
