Flokati Rugs |
|
People have been weaving rugs for ages. During this long period of time the craft of rugs weaving has developed greatly. In each pert of the world its own unique design of rugs has arrived. Flokati rugs are the rugs that were born in Greece. It is believed that flokati-rugs
have originated from somewhere in Pindos mountains.
At first flokati rugs were just a way to handle the cold climate of high mountain region - they were used as covering or as a sort of clothing. And only later people started to use flokati rugs to beautify their home with them. The development of design of flokati rugs led to the selling of them in nonbearing countries like Macedonia.
As long as they were used in cold mountain climate the common material for flokati rugs was the wool. This wool of high mountain sheeps is always soft and gives flokati rugs wonderful qualities - they are really smooth and durable at the same time.
Most of the presently available flokati rugs are hand-made which makes them unique and rare. Thus flokati rugs are not cheap so be ready to pay a lot for the pleasure to have one of them in your home.
Since flokati rugs are very soft and have a deep pile they can be used not just as floor carpets. You can use you flokati rugs like a blanket to cover sofa or your favorite armchair. Flokati rugs can also form a nice playground for your children.
Your flokati rugs can be treated as any other wool thing - you can even wash them in washing machine on "wool" mode.
