Raw Fibre
Material Honesty
We select materials for their natural resilience, distinct textures, and how they wear over time. A rug's longevity begins with the integrity of the yarn. This is a guide to the specific fibres woven into Marl & Silt pieces.
Designed for Living, Grounded in Nature
A rug is more than a foundation underfoot—it is a tactile layer that sets the rhythm of a room. We select raw, renewable fibres for their natural resilience, distinct textures, and lasting beauty. Here is how each material behaves in your home, helping you choose the right piece for your space.
New Zealand & Indian Wool
Dense, insulating, and naturally resilient. Wool holds its structure under heavy foot traffic and wears well over decades. The natural oils in the fibre provide a level of resistance to spills, making it an enduring, grounded foundation for living rooms and high-traffic areas.
Viscose Silk
Chosen for its subtle sheen and softness. Viscose silk catches the light, bringing a quiet contrast when blended with matte wool in the pile. It is best suited for low-traffic rooms, where the delicate texture can remain undisturbed.
Jute
Spun from fast-growing stalk fibres, jute brings an earthy, tactile texture to a room. It offers a thick, flat-woven finish with natural tone variations. It is best suited for dry, layered living spaces and entryways.
The Nature of the Material
Natural Shedding
New wool pieces naturally shed loose fibres during the first few weeks. Regular vacuuming with suction only allows the pile to settle.
Human Skill
Subtle shifts in natural dye and weave tightness are not defects. They are the mark of human skill and traditional loom work. Machines cannot replace this experience.
Everyday Maintenance
Rotate pieces every six months for balanced wear. Blot spills immediately with a clean, un-dyed cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to protect the raw fibre.
