Instead of wasting your time, give your item a nice vigorous shake, and most of the debris stuck to it will come off :) If you accidentally spill something like coffee or wine on it, run that area under slightly warm water. Once the stain has been rinsed out, give it a gentle squeeze. Afterward, place the item on a surface with good airflow, and make sure to flip it periodically until it dries. For rugs, you can use a vacuum cleaner. If the item becomes heavily soiled, please take it to a dry cleaner.

Highlights

Made by CarpathianCrafts
Materials: Wool

This rug is a unique and incredible item made of natural sheep wool only in the region of the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine. We call it "lizhnyk". The texture of the rug can't be repeated, because of its handmade nature, it is handwoven with a special wooden loom.

It can be used as a rug, carpet, or picnic blanket ❤️

• Weight: 7-20 lb (3-9 kg)

➤ How it is made (see a video in the about section):

To make one medium-sized rug you had to work long and hard. I use only natural wool from sheep that were raised in the high Carpathian mountain pastures, and natural dyes.
At first you have to wash and dry the wool thoroughly, the comb it with a special tool, which makes the wool puff up and resemble a cloud.
The combed wool is easily manipulated and made into threads, which are then used to make a lizhnyk on a loom (handmade looms are mostly used in the mountains).
The woven product is then placed in a special device – called ‘valylo’, a huge wooden barrel, narrowed down to the bottom.
Water is then piped in with great force. The flow of water rapidly rises, creating a whirlpool in which the blankets spin for hours.
After this process lizhnyks become tight and fluffy.

➤ Recommended care:

Instead of wasting your time, give your item a nice vigorous shake, and most of the stuff stuck to it will come off :) If you accidentally spilled something like coffee or wine on it, run that area of the item under slightly warm water. Once the stain has been washed out give it a gentle squeeze. Afterward, put the item on a surface where it’s going to get a lot of air and make sure to flip it periodically until it dries.
For the rugs, you can use a vacuum cleaner.
In case the item is quite dirty, please use dry clean.

Absolutely gorgeous, great craftsmanship.( It will arrive, takes time.) FYI no tracking updates when it switches from land to air mail. For me there was no custom charges. Enjoy.
