In a recent trip to Sri Lanka, the designer Lorena Canals was captivated by the beautiful green landscape of a tea plantation she visited. The hills and valleys of this exotic land inspired her to create the Fields Collection. Drinking tea is a worldwide pleasure that contributes feelings of harmony, peace of mind and well-being. This Lorena Canals Black Chia Wool Washable Area Rug is an attempt to convey these feelings of serenity in an everlasting rug such that one can be reminded of these small pleasures in life.
This Lorena Canals Black Chia Wool Washable Area Rug uses a charcoal coloured cotton canvas base to represent the fertile land that is visible among the ordered crops. The short wool pile in silver grey colour resembles cultivated fields in the autumn months that cover the hills of a vast landscape. The combination of the silvery grey pile and charcoal base creates a sophisticated piece that is cozy, tender and modern.
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.
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.

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.
