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. Doukkala 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 Doukkala a strict checkerboard?

Accepted Answer

Close, but soft. On the rectangle, large soft-edged squares alternate across the ground with small dots in vertical lines between the columns. Each square is big enough to read on its own from across the room, and its edges blur a little where the pile leans.

Question 4

Is Doukkala 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 Doukkala work best?

Accepted Answer

This rug is at its best in a kids room, where its color gives the room a lift. Short or medium pile keeps blocks and toy cars upright. It also suits a living room and a dining room.

Question 6

Do large soft squares look different in shag than in short pile?

Accepted Answer

Large squares read well in every pile. Short 0.4 in (1 cm) keeps the dots and the square edges clearest. Medium 0.8 in (2 cm) softens the edges further, like the boundaries of fields. Shag 1.2 in (3 cm) gives each square visible depth and lets the small dots fade into the ground.

Question 7

How do I keep Doukkala 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 I see Doukkala in another color before I order?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at once. Pick a shade from our 30 wool colors and the preview appears on the rug's page; approve it and that is the rug the weavers make. It costs 10% more than the size's price and adds one extra week.
