Briar combines the robustness of twisted jute yarn with the softness of wool, in an alternating loop pile stripe is reminiscent of the sand Briars of The Australian coast. This is used underneath rugs to prevent slippage between the rug and the surface it is placed on. Please note; Due to the difference of monitor colours, some rug colours may vary. Our rugs are handmade from natural fibres and will have slight variations in colour. Sprouting yarns where strands of wool have ended and started during the weaving process may be visible or become visible over time, this is not a defect, instead a natural occurring feature of this product.
