{"product_id":"char-hallway-runner-area-rug","title":"The Char Wool Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Barn is part of the Dune Collection -  textiles from Gujarat's semi-arid grasslands, where Patanwadi sheep graze at 100–500 metres in heat, drought, and scarcity. The wool comes from these sheep that graze in arid, sun-bleached terrain. This is a fibre shaped by hardship, and it shows in how it performs. It is coarse in the best sense: dense, hard-wearing, and naturally undyed. The dark and cream tones in this rug are the natural colours of the fleece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving face-down on a nomadic loom, the weaver works from the back, checking the pattern’s progress in a mirror placed beneath the loom. A technique developed by nomadic communities whose looms could be set up, taken down, and carried across the desert. The father and son who brought this to life are one of the last two families practicing this technique, which is native and unique to the region of northern Gujarat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Char loosely refers to the traditional 'chaumukh' motif central to the many populations that call this region home. They are inspired from the migration, folklore and everyday life of these nomads who have been weaving these rugs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerrain Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Patanwadi sheep wool, Kutch, Gujarat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAltitute: 100-500m above sea level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimate: Arid, drought-prone grasslands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibre: Hardy resilient local dye-free natural wool \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnique: Continuous wrapped and knotted wefts, flatwoven face-down using a mirror placed under the nomadic loom \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Series 01: Gujarat's Resilient Sheep Wool\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theallindiacompany.com\/blogs\/fibre-terroir\/series-01-gujarat-resilient-sheep-wool\"\u003eLearn more →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatanwadi sheep wool body, cotton fringe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural ivory and dark brown\/charcoal (undyed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpect natural colour variation; each piece is unique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order · 1 month lead time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The All India Company","offers":[{"title":"2ft x 5ft","offer_id":47415356883093,"sku":"SN4001","price":450.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5ft x 6ft","offer_id":47415381754005,"sku":"SN4001","price":500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3ft x 5ft","offer_id":47415356915861,"sku":"SN4002","price":675.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4ft x 6ft","offer_id":47415356948629,"sku":"SN4003","price":950.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5ft x 8ft","offer_id":47415381786773,"sku":"SN4002","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8ft x 10ft","offer_id":47439208611989,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1362\/3479\/files\/AD73E939-61A3-4F61-AB72-769A4FC03AFA.jpg?v=1780961592","url":"https:\/\/www.theallindiacompany.com\/products\/char-hallway-runner-area-rug","provider":"The All India Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
