Flokati Rugs are a plush and soft shag rug and with a natural beauty suitable for any decor. Flokati is a hand crafted wool shag rug that is made from the finest wool for elegance, comfort and durability. The Flokati wool shag Rug is beautiful, durable and luxurious. Imported from Greece, and made from 100% New Zealand Wool, these 4.0 kilo flokati rugs are almost four inches in pile height.
Flokati Rugs have been a Greek tradition for centuries. The rugs originally serviced the shepherds, being used as clothing, beds for tents, and keeping them warm during the long winter months. These rugs are still made in the traditional way. Our hand made rugs are woven on a hand operated loom. A thick wool backing is woven first, and then the long strands of yarn that will make the shag wool pile are woven into the backing. Just as they did 1500 years ago in the Pindos Mountains, the flokati is then submerged in a water bath. The wool swells and creates the unique Flokati shag rug appearance. It is then sun dried and the Flokati rug is born. Our collection of hand made flokati rugs is made from 100% New Zealand Drysdale Wool Type 126/7, by far the best in the world and known for its long fibers and consistency of texture. Flokati rugs are naturally stain and soil resistant. The high moisture content of the fiber, along with wool?s protein constituents, gives Flokati rugs excellent flame resistance as well.
