Green brings a bit of the garden indoors, and in a narrow space the green Gabbeh Uni runner does it without fuss. Plants, oak and white tiles all sit comfortably beside it.

Will the green runner work in a kitchen?

Yes. In front of the worktop it gives you wool to stand on while you cook. Its low pile keeps it flat. Laid next to a bed, it is one of jaloom's bedroom rugs with a plain green look, and it can just as easily line a hallway.

What is the green Gabbeh Uni runner made of?

Wool, a natural fibre that comes from sheep. The pile is 100% wool and the back is wool too, woven by hand in India. Handmade lengths may differ slightly from the listing, and advice on rug sizes helps you plan a hallway with that in mind. Wool through and through, it is among our wool rugs and can lie over underfloor heating.

How do I look after the green runner?

Turn it end to end from time to time so light and footsteps share out evenly. An underlay a little smaller than the runner, which our cleaning advice also mentions, keeps it from slipping and holds the corners flat. Green wool should be blotted, not rubbed, when something spills, using a light cloth and working from the outside in.
