Repairing Sides of your Rugs
Similar to fringes the sides of your rug can also get worn over time if they are in a high traffic area. When we repair the sides of your rug we will need to match the same colour of the wool of your rug to ensure it looks the same. Repairing the sides of your rugs will protect the rug from unravelling and give your rug a much cleaner look.

Repairing: Holes & Tears
To repair holes in your rug we first have to rebuild the foundation of the rug as when the rug was woven. The second step is to weave the area over the foundation of the rug. Additionally, wool has to be matched exactly and skilfully woven. Once this is done the area is then sheared down to match the rest of the pile of the rug.
Repairing Moth Damage
Repairing Moth Damage
Moths eat organic and natural dyed wool, for this reason, if your rug is not cleaned and washed regularly over time moths and other insects inside the fibres of your rug will eat the wool. Because most rugs have a cotton foundation the wool is eaten and the rug remains intact. If your rug has a hole this has to be repaired as soon as possible in order not to let the hole expand to other areas of the rug.
