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. Zafran 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 Zafran bright, or deeply warm?

Accepted Answer

Deeply warm. The glow sits in the wool itself: an open field, one cross at the center where the nap turns, and no other mark, so the warmth comes from the tone and not from a pattern.

Question 4

Is Zafran hand-knotted, even with no pattern?

Accepted Answer

Zafran 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 should I put Zafran?

Accepted Answer

Zafran earns its place as a runner alongside the bed, since it keeps the bedside calm. Medium or shag pile feels softest under bare feet there.

Question 6

How does a warm field change between short and shag pile?

Accepted Answer

Shag 1.2 in (3 cm) deepens the tone, since light falls into the longer wool, and it makes the central cross more pronounced. Medium 0.8 in (2 cm) keeps the warmth with a soft surface. Short 0.4 in (1 cm) gives the brightest, most even field.

Question 7

Will a solid rug like Zafran 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 see Zafran 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.
