With the Retro style becoming newest trend in decorating people are looking to the past to get ideas. In the 60’s and 70’s flokati rugs were one of the hottest trends, for a rug in front of the fireplace or under a beanbag chair their plush texture and comfy feel make them the perfect accessory then and now.
Flokati rugs are 100% wool, which is hand-woven in Greece. They come in a
wide variety of colors and can instantly change the look of your room. The
choice of colors has become so wide-ranging that you can even find these plush
rugs in soft pastel colors. It may look fragile, but this rug is durable and
machine washable (in a large commercial washer). Flokati is probably the most
reasonably priced rug there is because it lasts forever. The process that
gives Flokati its unique texture is that after the wool is hand woven, which
makes it look like a mass of string, it is then rinsed for 40 hours which
makes the backing swell and the pile unravels and fluffs out.
