Flatweave Rug — Stone

Not a bath mat. This is a proper small rug — roughly half as big again as the mats — flat-woven with a fine horizontal rib and no knots at all.

Flat weave means it lies down properly under a door, takes a chair leg without crushing, and is reversible: both faces are identical, so you can turn it over when one side has had a year of traffic. It is the only thing in the range that works as a rug rather than as something to stand on getting out of the bath.

Stone is a grey-beige with flecks of the other yarns running through it, which is what reclaimed cotton looks like when it is not dyed heavily enough to hide its origins.
