Parko Wool Ivory Grey sits firmly in the considered, wear-it-for-years half of our range.
On the design
A grey-toned rug is the easiest way to anchor a room without committing to a strong palette. The pattern is broken just enough at the surface to keep the visual rhythm interesting without ever feeling busy. We have laid this in rooms with bold artwork above and minimal furniture, and it sits comfortably in both.
About the make
The short version: Hand-woven in India. India's handloom workshops produce textile pieces with a tactile quality that's very hard to replicate on a machine. A wool rug behaves differently from a synthetic one. It sheds lightly for the first few months (that's normal), then settles into a piece you'll keep for decades. The pile is 10mm, which is what we'd call a true everyday pile — the kind of weight you want under a coffee table or a dining setting. The result is a rug that feels considered without crossing into precious territory.
Practical notes
It earns its keep in any room that has dark hardwood floors as a starting point. Avoid harsh cleaners on wool. Blotting cool water onto a fresh spill, then dabbing dry, is the right first move. Vacuum once a week, spot-treat the inevitable accidents, and the rug does not ask for anything else.
On sizing
If you are between sizes, we almost always recommend sizing up. Our Rug Size Guide has the room-by-room measurements we use ourselves.
Order Parko Wool Ivory Grey if the room is asking for a quiet, well-made foundation rather than a feature piece.
Common questions
Does the rug have a strong smell when it arrives?
There may be a faint factory or packaging smell on opening — it airs out within a day or two. Lay the rug out, open the windows, and it will settle quickly.
Can I steam clean this rug?
We don't recommend steam cleaning wool — professional dry cleaning is the safer path.
How do I get rid of a stain?
Blot immediately with a clean dry cloth — don't rub. For most spills, cool water and a tiny amount of wool-safe detergent will do it. For wine or anything stubborn, call a professional rug cleaner rather than scrubbing it yourself.
Can I put a rug pad underneath?
Yes, and we'd recommend it on hard floors. A pad keeps the rug from slipping, adds a little extra softness underfoot, and helps the pile wear evenly over time.
Does this rug ship rolled or folded?
Rolled. We ship every rug in our range rolled and wrapped — folding can leave a crease in the pile that takes a few weeks to settle out, so we avoid it.
