Kate runs Eye Heart Hand with her husband, Pete Spain, and together have built a business with a focus on sustaining and preserving harmony in the earth's fragile ecosystems.

Collaboration between people and places is at the forefront of Eye Heart Hand's mission. Every Eye Heart Hand rug is verified and approved by two world standards that confirm its quality: (1) Oritain Origin Verification ensures that the wool used in the making of the rug is indeed from the Guilds of High Peak Estate, New Zealand and (2) GoodWeave International Accreditation ensures that no child, forced or bonded labor is used in the facilities where the rugs are made.

About the Wool

Each Eye Heart Hand area rug is made from 100% pure wool sourced from the Guild family's High Peak Estate New Zealand, a 10,000 acre family estate in amongst the Southern Alps. This luxurious wool reflects the purity of its origin. Sheeps are surrounded by sparkling streams from the alps, crisp mountain air, grassy range and rugged hills soaring 1000 meters above the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand. The Guild family's care for their sheep are in accordance with the highest standards for animal welfare. The Animal Protection Index ranks New Zealand grade "A" putting it among just 4 nations out of 50 graded worldwide to earn the highest grade for protecting animals and promoting animal welfare.

This extraordinary wool has a natural whiteness and luster that creates luminous colours and rich hues. The wool is smooth, soft and luxurious while it's fibers offer lasting resilience and body. Wool from the Guilds of High Peak Estate are of premium weight and quality, minimizing curling and shedding. Amongst the many benefits of wool rugs, it is a natural material that is hygienic, non allergenic, has no harmful gasses and deters the growth of bacteria and dust mites. Wool is also flame resistant thanks to its thick insulating char layer and is a great choice for asthma sufferers because of its natural filtering ability. The natural strength and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic allows a wool rug to last for decades. An Eye Heart Hand wool rug is considered an investment and is expected to be passed from generation to generation. And to ensure that the wool applied to the rugs in India are indeed from the High Peak Estate, each rug is verified by Oritain using their fiber-trace technology.

Care Instructions

Upon unpacking of your new rug, roll it out and allow it to air for a day or two in a dry beezy location. A thin layer of natural latex inbetween the wool and cotton backing may emit a temporary odour that will go away from the airing process
It is unlikely but if any fibers should come loose, snip it with scissors. Do not pull
Brooms and sweepers are a great, gentle way to clean your rug
When using a vacuum, use the handheld attachment without the rotating beater bar on
For spills, blot immediately with a clean white cloth or towel. Never rub a spill as doing so will force the spill deeper into the wool fiber
For heavier spills or stain, use a solution of diluted vinegar and water (1:10 parts) or a diluted wool cleaning liquid. Remove residual cleaner with clean water and absorb remaining moisture with a dry towel
To fully clean a wool rug, use a professional cleaning expert
Rug pad is recommended to prevent slippage
