Feet - meet freckle

Pure wool is dyed by hand, hand spun and then woven into our Freckle texture on traditional wooden hand looms. The result is unusual, beautiful, architectural and artisan. Everything varies, which is what gives Freckle its superbly handmade character.

Designed for use in homes but tough enough for busy spaces, Freckle carries a Class 33 contract rating and has low thermal resistance, making it a great choice for use with underfloor heating. Available as wall-to-wall carpet or made-to-measure rugs, Freckle is backed by a 5-year manufacturing warranty and a 10-year moth guarantee, offering dependable performance and added peace of mind.

Ordering
We recommend viewing a physical sample before ordering, as most screens do not show true colours.
While our quality control systems are designed to keep colour variation within normal industry tolerances, the tones of all natural fibres may vary slightly between batches and samples may change a little over time. For carpet orders where an exact colour match is required, please request a stock cutting. If joining carpets, please ensure at the time of order that you request cuts from the same batch.

Size tolerance

For carpets please always order 3% more than is required both on length and width.

For inset locations order oversized broadloom and cut in on site.

General

Natural fibres may fade over time, this may be accelerated by exposure to direct sunlight.

Fitting carpets

Hibiscus carpets should always be installed by professionals. They can be stretched onto grippers over good quality, solid underlay. They can also be stuck directly to the floor or fitted over underlay using the double stick method.

Installing rugs

A quality underlay beneath your rug will eradicate slippage and can reduce wear. Hibiscus offers non-slip rug underlay suitable for rugs laid over carpets or hard floors.

General maintenance (aka: keep Your carpet happy)

Give your newly fitted carpet or rug a regular vacuum. Some early fluffing or “shedding” is totally normal — think of it as your carpet settling in. This will soon stop with frequent vacuuming and won’t affect its good looks or performance.

Keep up regular vacuuming throughout your carpet’s lifetime, and remember: turn the beater bar OFF — carpets with loop pile prefer a gentle touch!

Want Your Carpet to Live Its Best Life?

Help your floorcovering stay fabulous for longer by following these easy tips:

• Pop barrier mats by doors — they catch dirt before it crashes the party (just clean them often!)
• Use castor mats under wheely chairs — prevent wheely-chair wear and tear
• Add furniture cups under furniture legs — no more tiny pressure divots
• Lay non-slip underlay under rugs and rotate rugs regularly — fair wear is happy wear
• Grab an Emergency Spot Cleaning Kit when you buy your carpet or rug — because spills happen, and it’s best to be ready!

Cleaning 100% wool carpets or rugs

Wool is a wonderfully natural and resilient fibre — but like your favourite cream jumper, it isn’t completely immune to the occasional coffee or wine mishap. The good news? With quick, gentle action, most spills can be handled beautifully.

Spills & Stains — Do:

• Lift, don’t smear — Remove any solids carefully using a spoon or blunt knife
• Blot promptly — Use plain white absorbent paper (kitchen towel is ideal)
• Keep it fresh — Replace the paper frequently until it comes away dry
• Cool and calm — Apply cold water sparingly and continue blotting as above
• Use your emergency spot cleaning kit where appropriate
• Call in the professionals if the stain proves stubborn

Spills & Stains — Do NOT:

• Do not rub or scrub — this can burst the pile surface and cause permanent damage
• Do not use home steam cleaners — wool prefers a gentler touch
• Do not use household cleaning chemicals — these may set the stain, damage fibres, or leave a sticky residue that attracts re-soiling
