Terra Line Hand-Tufted Rug

Construction: Hand Tufted. The rug is created by punching wool yarn through a stretched canvas using a handheld tufting gun. Once tufting is complete, the reverse is secured with latex adhesive and protective backing, helping hold the fibres firmly in place.

Material: The product specification lists Blended Wool with New Zealand Wool. New Zealand wool is valued for its soft feel, naturally bright base, long fibres, and ability to hold colour and detailed patterns effectively.

Colour: Warm ochre, caramel brown, earthy taupe, subtle olive undertones, and soft ivory accents, creating a sophisticated earth-inspired palette suitable for contemporary and luxury interiors.

Design: A modern abstract geometric composition featuring elongated ivory lines, angular accents, and an understated tonal background. The clean linear elements create a sense of architectural balance, while the softly blended earthy colours introduce warmth and visual depth.

Hand-Tufted Detail: The design is developed layer by layer through hand tufting, followed by backing, shearing, and finishing. The clean geometric accents require careful yarn placement to maintain their visual definition against the softly textured background. Where required, skilled artisans may hand-carve areas of the surface to create sharper transitions, enhanced definition, and a more dimensional finish.

Backing: A latex-secured canvas construction is used to hold the tufted fibres in place, with protective backing applied to the reverse. This helps maintain the structural integrity of the rug while supporting the tufted pile during everyday use.

Production Process: The complete process involves design and tracing, wool dyeing and yarn preparation, hand tufting, backing, shearing, carving where required, washing, edge finishing, and final quality inspection.

Artisans Involved: The making process can involve designers and tracers, dyers and yarn preparers, tufters, backers, shearers, carvers, and washers/finishers, with approximately 6–10 skilled people contributing across the different stages.

Manufacturing Time: The detailed hand-tufting process can take approximately 4–6 weeks (30–45 days) from start to finish. The listed collection lead time is 7–15 days, subject to order and production requirements.

Vacuum the rug regularly using low suction and a non-rotary attachment to remove dust and loose fibres without putting unnecessary stress on the tufted surface. Keep the beater bar turned off. Regular gentle vacuuming helps preserve the appearance of the textured wool pile and maintain the definition of its geometric accents.

For spills, gently blot the affected area immediately with a clean, damp cloth and, when necessary, use a mild wool-safe detergent. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing, as excessive friction can loosen or distort tufted fibres. Allow the affected area to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Always place the rug over a quality rug pad. A rug pad helps prevent slipping and bunching, adds cushioning, and reduces friction between the latex-backed rug and hard flooring. This is particularly important when the rug is placed beneath heavy furniture or within frequently used seating arrangements.

Rotate the rug 180 degrees every 3–6 months to distribute foot traffic evenly and minimise uneven fading from sunlight. Because Terra Line features contrasting earthy tones and ivory accents, avoiding prolonged direct sunlight can help preserve the consistency of its colour palette over time.

Keep the rug dry and avoid soaking it or placing it in persistently damp areas, as excessive moisture can affect the backing adhesive. For deeper cleaning, professional cleaning is recommended approximately every 1–2 years. Always inform the cleaner that the rug is hand-tufted so an appropriate low-moisture cleaning method can be used.

The Terra Line Hand-Tufted Rug is available in multiple sizes, from the 2 × 10 ft runner size through to the generous 10 × 14 ft size, allowing it to complement compact spaces as well as expansive living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan interiors.

The listed collection lead time is 7–15 days, with the final delivery timeline depending on the selected size, production status, destination, and shipping method. Made-to-order production may require additional time, depending on the stage of manufacturing and order requirements.

Each rug is carefully prepared and packed for transportation to help protect its wool surface, geometric design, and finished edges. Because rugs are available in different sizes and weights, packaging and handling requirements may vary between orders.

Returns and exchanges are subject to the applicable 1930 Mills return policy, including product condition and eligibility requirements.

The Terra Line Rug is produced through a detailed hand-tufting process involving multiple stages of skilled craftsmanship. From pattern tracing and yarn preparation to tufting, backing, shearing, finishing, and inspection, each stage contributes to the final appearance and performance of the rug.

The use of blended wool with New Zealand wool provides a naturally textured foundation, while the handcrafted process gives the rug its distinctive character. The carefully composed ivory geometric accents and warm tonal background reflect the attention to detail involved in translating a contemporary design into a hand-tufted textile.

As a handcrafted product, minor variations in texture, fibre placement, pattern definition, and colour perception may naturally occur. These subtle differences are part of the rug's individual character and reflect the nature of artisan production.

Any applicable warranty or product assurance is provided according to the 1930 Mills terms applicable to the product at the time of purchase.

Yes. A quality rug pad is strongly recommended to improve grip, add cushioning, prevent bunching, and reduce friction between the rug backing and the floor.

Can I machine wash this rug?
No. Hand-tufted rugs with latex and canvas backing should not be machine washed or submerged, as excessive moisture can deteriorate the backing and adhesive.

Blot the spill immediately using a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild wool-safe detergent. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the affected area.

How often should I rotate the rug?
Rotate the rug approximately 180 degrees every 3–6 months to distribute foot traffic and sunlight exposure more evenly.
