Rug Process

You are invited to the Textile barn in Stillwater by appt. We also make house calls.

Durability & Care

Due to the tightness of the handspun wool and the high lanolin content, the rugs require little care. The lanolin functions as a stain and spill retardant. They can be placed in a high traffic entry and they also look great on the wall. They are completely reversible. The tight weave and no plie, do not require a deep clean. If using a vaccum, do not use a rug beater and avoid the fringe. A wet cloth and a good wipe cover most cleaning needs as well as a sweep. A rug can be washed on gentle/cold water wash/ gentle soap and lay flat on rug pad to dry.

ArtAndes rugs are handcrafted by highly skilled Peruvian weavers.

Incredibly complex in technique and rich in cultural heritage, the rugs will ground a room and allow you to build a delightful decor around them. The rugs are durable and can stand up to constant use. Artful to look at, organic in nature & highly functional in performance. The heirloom quality is in the tightness of the weave. A tapestry weave offers a great reversibility bonus, and the wool is rich in lanolin: a stain resistant feature. They are as close to a magic carpet as it gets!

We encourage the tradition of hand spinning the yarn used for making our rugs. Hand spinning takes more time and care, but produces a stronger tighter fiber and gives jobs to people rather than machines. The result is a finer, denser, more durable weave in the finished rug. Hand spun yarn also enhances subtle variations in the natural dyes, resulting in a rich textured appearance.
