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. Tadelakt 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 Tadelakt completely plain, or is there any pattern?

Accepted Answer

It is fully plain: no motif and no border, wool laid edge to edge. What you see instead is texture. The wool gathers toward the center in soft, radiating folds that change with the light, so the field never reads flat.

Question 4

Is Tadelakt hand-knotted, even with no pattern?

Accepted Answer

Tadelakt is knotted by hand in 100% natural wool at a high density. On a solid rug nothing hides the wool, so the density shows as depth and evenness.

Question 5

Where does Tadelakt work best?

Accepted Answer

This rug is at its best in a bedroom, where it stays quiet beside the bed. Medium or shag pile feels best under bare feet there. It also suits a nursery and a home office.

Question 6

Which pile height shows off a plain field best?

Accepted Answer

Shag 1.2 in (3 cm) shows it most, since a field with no pattern is all texture and the radiating folds have more wool to turn. Medium 0.8 in (2 cm) keeps the folds soft but visible. Short 0.4 in (1 cm) gives a smoother, flatter field.

Question 7

Will a solid rug like Tadelakt show marks?

Accepted Answer

A solid field shows more than a pattern, pale tones most. Vacuum weekly with suction only, along the pile, and blot spills at once with cool water from the edge inward. New wool sheds a little in its first weeks, and that settles. The care guide covers the rest.

Question 8

Can I order Tadelakt in other colors?

Accepted Answer

Choose from our 30 wool shades on the rug's page and an instant preview shows your version; the one you approve is the one the weavers make. It costs 10% more than the size's price and takes one extra week.
