Purple pairs nicely with grey linen, cream cushions and the dark wood of an old dresser. On a round shape the colour comes across soft rather than loud, and it gives a plain room a warm centre.

How is the purple Kelim Chindi Uni Round made?

Each one is woven by hand on a loom in India from strips of fabric, cut from textile offcuts. Since every batch of strips differs a little, the purple falls slightly differently on each piece. Pure cotton front and back, with fringes around the edge, and it shares that flat weave with many of jaloom's cotton rugs.

Which rooms suit a purple circle rug?

Square rooms often look calmer with a round shape in the middle, because it balances the four equal walls. This cotton round rug fits a living room seating corner, a children's room or a dining area, and it lies well over underfloor heating. Next to a bed it joins our bedroom rugs as a soft first step. Use our advice on rug sizes to work out which of the several sizes fits around your furniture.

Can the purple Chindi round go in the washing machine?

Yes, at 30 °C, washed alone and dried flat, never in the dryer. Laid on a non-slip underlay slightly smaller than itself, as our rug care tips describe, it stays put and the edges don't curl. Between washes the light weave stays flat on top of it.
