Wool Rugs
Explore Tigmi's collection of wool rugs, bringing together original designs in natural wool and cashmere blends.

Drawing on traditional weaving techniques and textile influences from Morocco and beyond, our wool rugs are designed with an appreciation for natural materials, craftsmanship and the character of handmade textiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer free shipping on rugs?
Yes. We offer free shipping on rugs Australia-wide. For international orders, shipping is calculated at checkout based on your delivery location.
How do I choose the right rug size for my space?
The right rug should feel generous enough to anchor the furniture around it, rather than floating within the room. In a living space, we generally recommend choosing a rug large enough to sit beneath at least the front legs of your furniture, while dining rugs should extend comfortably beyond the table and chairs. For more detailed placement advice, explore our Rug Size Guide.
Can I see or feel a rug before purchasing?
Yes. Many of our rugs can be viewed at our Byron Bay showroom, and samples are available on request for selected designs. If you’re considering a particular rug, contact our team at sales@tigmitrading.com and we can help with availability, samples and any questions about colour, texture or construction.
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.
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.
Are handmade rugs perfectly uniform?
No — and this is part of what makes them unique. Variations in weave, colour, texture and dimensions are natural characteristics of rugs made by hand, reflecting the materials and processes used by the artisan rather than a manufacturing fault.
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.
What is Afghan wool, and why does Tigmi use it?
Afghan wool is wool sourced from Afghanistan, valued for its durability and natural variations in tone and texture. Tigmi uses it for the character it brings to a rug, with subtle colour variations within the fibres creating a natural mélange effect. Soft underfoot and resilient, it is well suited to everyday living.
