Coffee in hand, bare feet on the floor: the cream Nain is what you step onto first thing in the morning. Its short pile feels flat and smooth rather than plush, and the ornamental pattern in soft cream tones adds a calm, quiet look. This wool rug suits a light room.

What is the cream Nain made of?

Every knot is tied by hand around the warp threads, one at a time. Made in India, it has a 100% hand-spun wool pile and a wool backing, and hand-spinning gives the yarn a slightly varied texture you can see up close. Wool is naturally flame-retardant and does not melt, a quality the cream Nain shares with all our wool rugs.

Which rooms does the cream Nain suit?

The rectangular shape sits comfortably in front of a sofa, so it makes a calm choice among our living room rugs. It also makes a quiet bedroom rug, because the short pile feels smooth on bare feet, and under a dining table the flat, even surface makes chairs easier to shift. The cream Nain is also suitable for underfloor heating, and there is advice on rug sizes when you are measuring up. Blue and red versions of the Nain are also available, plus runners in all three colours.

How do I keep the cream Nain looking good?

For a spill, press a light cloth onto it and work from the outside in, never rubbing, as the care guide shows. Turning the rug now and then lets sunlight and foot traffic spread evenly, and a non-slip pad slightly smaller than the rug underneath stops it creeping. Loose fibres are common at first, and regular vacuuming helps them settle.
