Navy chairs, white crockery and a pale wood table all look sharper on a square of blue, and the blue Gabbeh Uni gives you exactly that. Blue suits a dining room.

Blue sheep's wool, hand-woven in India

Wool comes from sheep and is a natural fibre, and the blue Uni uses it in the 100% wool pile and in the backing. Weavers make it by hand in India, so it can differ slightly from the listed size. With wool front and back, it is listed with our wool rugs.

A square blue rug for the dining table

A square shape belongs under a square dining table and fills a square room neatly. Among jaloom's dining room rugs, the blue Uni is a plain choice with a low pile, and a lounge or bedroom suits it just as well. Advice on rug sizes shows how much extra to allow around the table. Laid over underfloor heating, it is fine.

Looking after the square blue Uni

New wool lets go of a few fibres at first, which regular vacuuming soon reduces. Our page on how to clean your rug suggests trimming a loose end with scissors instead of pulling it. Blue wool pressed down by a table leg usually lifts after a little dampening.
