Question 1

How do I choose the right size and shape?

Accepted Answer

Size it to the furniture, not the floor: at least 18 in shows beyond the sides and foot of a bed, and under a dining table it runs 24 in (60 cm) past the edge. Akal comes in three shapes, Classic, Round and Runner, in a standard size or a custom size priced as you type. The size guide has plans room by room.

Question 2

Will I hear from you while it's made?

Accepted Answer

We write at every stage: the order confirmation, the day knotting begins, the day your rug is finished, and tracking when it ships.

Question 3

Is the Akal lattice regular?

Accepted Answer

It is irregular: narrow channels cut raised lozenges and diamonds that break into smaller cells, every cell its own size. Carving by hand is why no two cells match.

Question 4

Is the high-low pile on Akal done by hand?

Accepted Answer

Once Akal is knotted in 100% natural wool, the pile is trimmed by hand into two levels, the knotting dense enough to keep the drop between them sharp.

Question 5

Where does Akal work best?

Accepted Answer

This rug is at its best in a nursery, where its pastel palette keeps a nursery calm. Short or medium pile gives a crawling baby steady ground. It also suits a living room and a bedroom.

Question 6

How does the cracked-earth relief feel with a longer pile?

Accepted Answer

The lozenges are raised wool with channels cut low between them, like plates of ground under the hand. Short 0.4 in (1 cm) keeps the cells sharp and close to the channels. Medium 0.8 in (2 cm) sits between. Shag 1.2 in (3 cm) lifts them into soft, deep mounds with darker shadow in each channel.

Question 7

How do I clean a sculpted rug like Akal?

Accepted Answer

Vacuum with suction only, along the relief as well as across it, so dust leaves the channels. Blot spills from the edge inward with cool water and never rub, which can flatten the raised wool. Some shedding in the first weeks is normal for new wool. The care guide has the rest.

Question 8

Can Akal be made in a color that suits my sofa?

Accepted Answer

Change any color on Akal to a shade from our 30 wool colors and the preview shows it against your sofa's tone at once; the weavers make the version you approve. It is 10% above the size's price, with one extra week.
