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. Chouara 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

How is the grid on Chouara laid out?

Accepted Answer

Bars across the width, stepped marks down the length. On the rectangle and the round, soft squares sit in rows between the bars, with small stepped marks in dotted lines between the columns; the runner carries one stepped form down its center.

Question 4

Is Chouara hand-knotted, tile by tile?

Accepted Answer

Each tile is knotted by hand in 100% natural wool, color by color, densely enough that small blocks stay distinct instead of running together.

Question 5

Where does Chouara work best?

Accepted Answer

This rug is at its best in a living room, where its pattern gives the seating a center. Any pile works there; shag is softest where people sit, medium is easiest to live with. It also suits a dining room.

Question 6

Will the dotted marks between columns show in shag?

Accepted Answer

They are clearest in short 0.4 in (1 cm) pile, with the bars firm and the squares soft. Medium 0.8 in (2 cm) keeps the dotted lines readable with gentler edges. In shag 1.2 in (3 cm) the small marks fade and the grid reads as soft squares between firm bars.

Question 7

How do I keep Chouara looking fresh?

Accepted Answer

Small tiles hide crumbs and grit well, so weekly vacuuming with suction only does most of the work, and it also lifts the loose fiber new wool lets go of in its first weeks. Blot spills with cool water from the edge inward, never rub, and skip steam and carpet foam. The care guide has the full routine.

Question 8

Can Chouara be made in my own colors?

Accepted Answer

Pick your colors from our 30 wool shades, check the instant preview, and the weavers make exactly what you approved. It adds 10% to the size's price and one extra week to the wait.
