This Lorena Canals Tuba Wool Washable Area Rug is part of the Hopi Collection, inspired by the oldest North American tribe in the continent - The Hopi Community. This American Indian culture is deeply rooted in spirituality. They strongly believe that everything including objects contains a soul given to it by nature. The designer, Lorena Canals, shares a similar belief in that even businesses have a spirit.

This Lorena Canals Tuba Wool Washable Area Rug is an attempt to convey the feelings of peace, mysticism and positivism. Each rug is handcrafted one by one by artisans using neutral and hippie colours. This Tuba Wool Washable Area rug is one of the most handcrafted pieces of the collection and incorporates mystical symbols that are representative of the Hopi tribe. Each symbol or pattern found on the rug is not just a decorative element but also carries a message in relation to the history and values of the tribe signifying soul, harmony and wisdom.

This Tuba Wool Washable Area Rug carries a Bohemian design with peek-through elements that expose the linen coloured canvas. The vibrant shades of pinks, blues and beige creates a piece that is inviting, cozy and calming. The Tuba area rug is finished with a hand knotted fringed edge that adds a touch of playfulness to the entire design.

The Woolable collection by Lorena Canals is the first wool rug collection ever designed to be washable at home in a domestic washing machine. Never has this existed in the history of rug making. The convenience this brings is huge to many households who have pets or small children. Rugs by Roo is all about sustainability and conscious living, and this collection meets all these requirements on top of the beautiful designs and colours.

About the Brand

Over the last 20 years, Lorena Canals has evolved to become one of the most well-known brands and creators of washable rugs at home. Lorena Canals revolutionized the rug industry when they first introduced their collection of washable cotton rugs to the world. It started with one simple question that perhaps a lot of us parents have asked: 'Why can't we wash our kids' rugs at home?’

Lorena Canals started her company to fill the void of modern day living making rugs that are 100% cotton and machine-washable. 20 years later, she is here to do it again with her latest collection of washable wool rugs, the first of its kind. Woolables are designed for home - everyday modern living - and are made of 100% wool.

Lorena Canals operates out of offices in Barcelona and New York. Their rugs are manufactured in two of their very own facilities in India where they have full control of the quality and best practices. Their designers work side by side with 120 artisans who take care of every detail in an elaborate handmade process.

About Wool

Wool rugs have been much loved by consumers worldwide for centuries due to its many great qualities. Now, with the Woolables Washable Collection by Lorena Canals, it makes wool rugs an obvious choice in many regards.

From an eco-friendly perspective, wool is a renewable resource and is bio-degradable making it a great choice for “green” households. Wool rugs typically have superior strength and durability compared to synthetic fibres. The pile of a wool rug is very sturdy and insulating. It is also naturally fire retardant and self-extinguishing.

You might have heard of lanolin? It is a natural substance found in wool that coats its surface making it stain resistant. This coating helps stop dirt and stains from actually penetrating the wool. That is why spills on wool is very easy to clean. Finally, wool is a healthy choice when it comes to a rug. Wool is a natural material that is hygienic and non allergenic, it has no harmful gasses and deters the growth of bacteria and dust mites. For these reasons, we view wool as the best choice particularly for a baby’s nursery or kid’s bedroom.

Care Instructions for Woolables by Lorena Canals

When you first receive the rug, unpack the rug from its bag and lay flat. Allow the pile to condition at room temperature for 2 to 3 days, then brush or vacuum as normal to allow the pile to recover
Wool rugs will shed fibers when new and during use. This is not a defect but a characteristic of the natural wool fiber used
Trim with scissors any pulled or loose threads to prevent further damage
To prevent dust and crumbs from settling into the roots of the fiber, we recommend regular vacuuming using low-powered vacuum cleaner with high-pile setting
Clean spots and absorb liquid spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid scrubbing
Do not use chemicals as they could damage or fade the colours of your rug
When rug is in need of a wash, check the label sewn onto the rug for recommended washing machine capacity for each rug
For this size, we recommend a minimum capacity of 9 kg
Wash separately at 30 degrees using a gentle cycle for a maximum of 30 minutes. A neutral detergent can be used during the wash
Make sure to use a low spin cycle if the rug has braids or fringes
Do not bleach and softener
Do not leave the wet rug in the washer as colours may bleed and transfer
Tumble dry at low temperature
Do not dry clean
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight as it may result in colour fading
Never store the rug in an airtight plastic bag. Use the cotton bag that is included for storing
We recommend the use of the anti-slip underlay (included) to keep the rug in place
