An authentic flokati rug is produced using a centuries old method started in Greece. Flokati rugs are hand-cut from 100% wool and washed in waterfalls dotted all over the Pindos Mountains, which causes its exceptional feathery softness.

This style of area rug has been a Greek tradition for centuries.

Handmade Flokati Area Rugs

With innate splendor appropriate for any décor, flokati area rugs are lavish and soft. Most rugs made in the flokati style are brought in from Greece, hand sewn or machine tufted and made from 100% new wool. The rugs initially serviced the shepherds, being used as clothes, cots for tents, and keeping them warm during the long winter months. Flokati possesses all the unique traits of wool in a dramatic shag form.

When buying, beware of imitation acrylic rugs. Nowadays this style of area rug is often made from New Zealand wool. Once woven, flokati area rugs are placed in a vat where Pindos Mountain water cascades down and is intercepted into canals, which feed the vat. This 40-hour process causes the flokati wool pile to unravel into its thickest and most plush potential.
