dhurrie


Dhurrie's are a fantastic addition to any rustic home. As a standard the rug is primarily a flat knit wool rug with an intricate pattern that is symbolic to the region it is from. Navajo rugs tend be reds, pinks, and oranges with tightly woven stripes that have intricate patterns. Dhurrie's from India, tend to be deep and rich in color with mandala patterns or diamonds. Being that the rugs tend to be wool and thiner, they hold up incredibly well. The richer colors stay beautifully dark, and will not fade as quickly since they are over-dyed. Even though the rugs are hand knit they can be found on the cheap!
