Linen
Flax pulled whole from the ground, retted, scutched and spun into a fibre with a cool touch and a subtle slub — the texture that makes linen unmistakable in a rug's surface.
Pulled, not cut
Linen begins as flax, pulled whole from the ground rather than cut, to keep the fibre's full length. The retted stems become the raw material for spinning.
Loosening and cleaning
Dew or water retting loosens the fibre from the stem's woody core; scutching beats the core away, leaving long, pale strands with linen's famous cool touch.
Crisp, dry, slubby
Flax spins into a crisp, dry-handed yarn with a subtle slub — the texture that makes linen unmistakable in a rug's surface.
Quiet, matte, refined
We use linen for its quiet, matte elegance: flatweaves and low pile with a cloth-like drape of colour, often blended with wool for body. It reads refined where jute reads rustic.
