Wool and silk blend rugs combine the resilience of wool with the luster of silk. The result is a rug with subtle shimmer that changes as light moves across the room.
What Silk Adds
Silk is often used for highlights in a design, such as outlines of a motif or fine details. In certain light, those highlights glow and give the pattern extra definition.
What Wool Provides
Wool forms the body of the rug and gives it structure and comfort. Wool is well known as a durable natural fiber, which is why it is the foundation of many handmade rugs. Read about why handmade rugs are worth the investment.
Where Blends Work Best
Because silk is more delicate than wool, blends tend to suit lower-traffic spaces such as bedrooms, formal living rooms and studies. For busy entryways or family rooms, ask our team which constructions are best suited.
Placement Tips
- Use a quality pad for protection and comfort.
- Place the rug where chairs and heavy furniture will not drag across it.
- View the rug from different angles in your room’s lighting.
