What is a Flokati? |
Flokati is a pure wool rug made in Greece by a unique age-old process. For centuries, Greek rug makers have woven Flokati rugs. They were cherished as family treasures, part of brides' dowries and used as wall-hangings and bed covers as well as rugs. Today, Flokatis are still unique. No other rugs are made the way Flokatis are, and no other rug looks like a Flokati with its deep thick softness. So when you own a Flokati, you not only own a beautiful floor covering, but also a little bit of history.
They begin with pure natural sheep's wool that's spun into yarn, and woven to create long loops. The distinctive Flokati pile is then cut by hand. A unique process follows: Every Flokati is carried to mountain waterfalls where it's washed for hours in deep vats. The swirling stream fluffs the long yarns into luxurious lively softness. This is the original Flokati technique and it's never changed--Science cannot duplicate it. Only the power of a waterfall can produce the special quality of a Flokati.
Greek Flokatis are natural wool. This means your rug will wear long and well. It will keep its rich sheen and softness year after year. Flokatis are as legendary for their strength as for their beauty. Being wool, they not only spring back into shape but are naturally static and flame resistant. Flokatis are a fine investment in lasting loveliness.
Flokatis are a traditional Greek art, but they're as contemporary as today. Whether your home is hi-tech or early American architecture, these rugs add a special warmth and charm. They are truly an affordable luxury that can transform any room.

| ***Beware of imposters where the base contains polyurethane to save on the cost of wool. Genuine wool Flokatis are handmade and 100% pure wool. You can clearly see the difference in the flokati rug. Compare our prices with others of equal quality.*** |

Flokati Weight Information |
Flokati is measured by its weight in grams of wool per square meter, Example 1400g/m2. As the weight of the Flokati increases so does thickness and fluffiness of the rug. Thus a 4000g/m2 weight rug is going to be noticably plusher and thicker than a 1400g/m2 weight rug.
We carry four different weights for our flokati rugs: 1400 grams, 2000 grams, 3000 grams and 4000 grams. As the density of the Flokati rug increases so does the wool length. See below for side views of the 4 Flokati rug sizes. |

Flokati Rug Care |
|
| A Flokati Rug can be a purchase that will last a lifetime and can be passed down for generations if cared for properly. |
|
| Basic Care: |
Once you receive your Flokati Rug it may arrive flattened from packaging. We strongly recommend that you give the rug a good shaking once you receive it. The more you shake your Flokati, the fluffier it will become!
Because of our many years of experience in manufacturing Flokati Rugs, we have discovered that simple garden rake (preferably wood or plastic) will do wonders for your Flokati Rug. Gently raking over the wool, from the bottom up, will fluff the Flokati beautifully. You will find that some of the wool will get caught in the rake. This is absolutely normal, and is not harmful to your Flokati Rug.
|
|
| Washing: |
The cleaning process for your Flokati Rug is amazingly simple. The Flokati should be shaken outdoors periodically to remove dust. You may wash the rug with the mildest of wool soaps. You must avoid washing your Flokati Rug in High water temperatures, chlorine bleach as well as dry cleaning. Not avoiding the above will destroy the protective fiber content of the wool.
For small sized rugs you may put them in your washing machine and wash on the Gentle Cycle. Air dry while avoiding direct sunlight, for the sun’s rays will distort the color of your Flokati Rug.
There are many rug companies that will pick up, clean and deliver your Flokati back to you. Washing your Flokati Rug properly will not damage your rug, but will merely enhance its unique and inviting quality, appearance and touch. |
|
| Vacuuming: |
| When vacuuming the Flokati, do not run the vacuum over the Flokati because the strands will get caught in the rotating brush. Use the suction head of the vacuum (one without a rotating brush). |
