How do I choose the right size and shape?

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. Nouar 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.

Will I hear from you while it's made?

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

Are the diamonds on Nouar placed in a regular grid?

No. Loose diamonds and crosses float on the field at different sizes, some outlined in stepped dots, and nothing lines up like a plan.

Is Nouar hand-knotted or tufted?

Hand-knotted, row by row, in 100% natural wool; nothing is tufted or glued to a backing.

Where does Nouar work best?

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

Will the stepped dot outlines stay visible in a shag?

The stepped dot outlines are sharpest in short 0.4 in (1 cm) pile. Medium 0.8 in (2 cm) keeps them visible with softer edges, which suits the loose, unplanned layout. In shag 1.2 in (3 cm) the dots merge into soft lines and the diamonds read as patches of tone on the field.

How do I care for Nouar, and will it shed?

Vacuum with suction only, no beater bar, and blot spills at once with cool water from the edge inward; never rub. New wool sheds loose fiber for its first weeks, then settles. Turn the rug now and then so sun and wear spread evenly. The care guide covers stains.

Is Nouar available in other colors?

Yes: any of our 30 wool shades, previewed at once on the rug's page. The version you approve is the version the weavers knot, for 10% more than the size's price and one extra week.

About this rug

Wildflowers nobody planted. Nouar means flowers in Moroccan Arabic, and this diamond Boujaad rug grows like that: a few lozenges set wherever the wool had room. Weavers once scattered forms like these as the mood took them. Zarbish makes it today.

The pile is long enough that every edge softens, and the paler patches below the center run into each other like wet pigment. A thin stripe at each end is the only straight line on the rug.
