Hemp Rug - Kuvikas Design

All our hemp rugs and other products are woven on traditional floor looms.
This loom is a 12 shaft Swedish countermarche loom and is approximately 100 years old.

A close-up of a hemp rug on the loom. This is woven in a Finnish style "kuvikas" design.

The rugs can be ordered in a variety of sizes:

2' x 3'
3' x 4'
4' x 5'
5' x 7'

The maximum width for any rug is the maximum width of the looms - 58". On any rug there is some "takeup" when it comes off the loom. The takeup occurs when the yarns relax and bend slightly to the shape of the pattern. This is a natural occurrence and makes the finished width slightly narrower (approx. 10%-15%)
The rugs can be woven to any length.
Stair runners can also be custom woven to your requirements. Colour selection is dependent on the yarn colours that are available.

Natural, White, Red, Green, Blue

Please Note:
I have recently moved to London, England.

New designs will be available soon, as I source for new hemp yarns.
