Cashmere
The Cashmere Rug Collection brings together the softness of cashmere with the strength and durability of New Zealand wool. Designed by Tigmi and hand-loomed by skilled artisans, each rug is made from a 30% cashmere and 70% wool blend, with a dense 200-knot construction that gives the collection its distinctive depth and softness underfoot.
Available in a considered palette of earthy and tonal colours, Cashmere rugs are designed to bring warmth, texture and lasting comfort to living rooms, bedrooms and larger spaces throughout the home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of cashmere rugs?
Cashmere rugs are exceptionally soft underfoot, with a fine texture and natural lustre that gives colour added depth. They are particularly suited to bedrooms and living spaces where softness, warmth and tactility are a priority.
Which rugs are cosiest for a lounge room?
For a soft, cosy feel underfoot, look for tactile natural fibres such as wool, cashmere or wool and silk blends. Rugs with a denser pile generally offer greater softness and warmth, making them particularly well suited to lounge and living areas.
Are wool rugs suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes. Wool is naturally resilient and can perform well in high-traffic areas when the rug's construction is suited to the space. Regular vacuuming, rotation and a quality underlay can help maintain its appearance over time.
Why do wool rugs shed?
Some shedding is normal with new wool rugs as loose fibres work their way to the surface. This generally reduces over time with regular use and gentle vacuuming. Avoid aggressive vacuum settings or rotating brush heads that may pull at the fibres.
How do I care for my rug?
Regular, gentle care will help preserve your rug for years to come. Vacuum using low suction, attend to spills promptly by blotting rather than rubbing, and rotate your rug periodically to encourage even wear. For deeper cleaning, we recommend using a professional rug cleaner familiar with handmade and natural-fibre rugs.
Do I need a rug underlay?
We recommend using an underlay with every rug. Beyond helping to keep your rug securely in place, a good underlay provides additional cushioning and reduces movement and friction between the rug and floor, helping to protect the rug and extend its life.
