Our weavers work with 100% raw new wool. The wool in most of our rugs comes directly from the backs of sheep that roam freely in the dry forests surrounding their homes and bump into trees. The wool is thoroughly cleaned by hand before being hand-spun and woven on the looms. Nevertheless, occasionally plant debris, such as very small twigs, may remain in the yarn.
Although we inspect all rugs before shipping to our customers, small twigs and organic plant debris can occasionally be missed. If you find such things in your rug or Salta cushion, you can easily remove them with your fingers or tweezers. They can be safely pulled out of the fabric. However, never cut across the yarn with scissors as this may compromise the integrity of the fabric. If you have any doubts, please contact hello@by-native.de first.
