CHALLU™ RUG 308 x 243 cm

$3,300Easy 30-day returns · Free shipping worldwide

CHALLU is a continuation of one of the oldest textile traditions in the world. The wool is hand-spun from high-altitude sheep in Ghazni Province, then hand-washed, hand-clipped, and hand-knotted onto traditional looms by weaving families in Pakistan using techniques passed down through generations, not a modern label borrowing the aesthetic.

This piece is left undyed, showing the true colour of the wool as it came off the sheep. Nothing manufactured, nothing added after the fact.

Made to be used, walked on, washed, and passed down.

“Use it. Flip it. Wash it. Take it on a picnic. The most durable rug you’ll ever own.” — Milton Cater

Good to know

We photograph our rugs in real rooms and natural light, so you see them as they are. Screens vary, so if you’d like a video or more photos before you decide, just ask.

Preferably sweep with a stiff straw broom. Vacuum only lightly, in the direction of the pile, not against the grain.

  • Turn it and use it upside down for a fortnight every spring.
  • Move furniture a few centimetres every few months.
  • Spills: wipe or scrape off the excess, then sponge with cold water, but not to excess. Suds from a eucalyptus wool wash are fine. Always sponge inwards. Lift and turn the wet area over until dry.
  • Never leave a rug on the floor wet, and never put pot plants on it.

Don’t be too precious. Our rugs are pure top-grade wool and virtually indestructible; there are many antique rugs still going strong today. Just stay natural, with no modern chemical cleaners or machines, and return your rug to us for a complete wash every few years.

PS Some rugs enjoy a picnic!

Yes. Call ahead and we’ll have it ready for you at our Bangalow showroom, 11 Byron St.
