Traditional and Modern HandmadeGreek Flokati RugsFlokati 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 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. 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.
Our collection of Traditional 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. These are available in stock sizes and custom orders, in weights of 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 6.0 Kilos per Square Meter and many designer colors. We also feature Modern Flokati Rugs, made with a polyester yarn backing for stain resistance and durability. These are an economical choice and come in 1.4, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 Kilos per Square Meter and designer colors. Here you will find small and large rectangular, Round and even Runners of Flokati.
