Sheep give us the natural fibre in this wool rug, and on the loom warp and weft are crossed by hand to build its structure. Pure wool links it to our wool rugs, while the slim runner shape makes it a hallway runner or one of jaloom's bedroom rugs laid beside the bed. Handmade sizes can vary a little, so choosing the right size with spare floor at both ends helps.

Beating the turquoise Lola from the back now and then and letting it air is an easy way to clean your rug between vacuums. Snip loose threads, never pull them. When a bed leg leaves a dent, dampen the spot lightly and the wool usually springs back.
