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. Zahra 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.

Does the medallion on Zahra sit in the center of every size?

The stepped medallion keeps the center and stays whole in every size and shape.

Is Zahra hand-knotted or tufted?

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

Where should I put Zahra?

Zahra earns its place as a runner in a hallway, since its pattern hides the wear of daily passing. A short or medium pile holds up to daily walking there. Try it in a kids room and a kitchen as well.

How does the stepped medallion read in each pile height?

The stepped outline stays sharpest in short 0.4 in (1 cm) pile, where the hooks and diamonds keep their points. Medium 0.8 in (2 cm) adds the softness that makes the medallion seem to float above the field. In shag 1.2 in (3 cm) the small marks blur into the ground and the color leads.

How do I care for Zahra, 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.

Can I order Zahra in other colors?

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.

About this rug

A bee-eater, pink flowers around it. Zahra is the Arabic word for flower, and this medallion Boujaad runner gives one bloom the whole floor, small marks scattered like petals. Weavers once knotted a bloom like this from memory. Zarbish makes it now.

Along the length the single medallion is the only event, so the eye travels over open ground before and after it. The chevrons and hooks are set with space between them, and the pile closes over the gaps so no knot shows.
