Product Overview:
The 'Virvel' is a hand-tufted rug designed by Ulla Ericson-Åström, made from 90% wool and 10% linen, with a polyester base fabric and polypropylene backing. It is available in various sizes, including rectangular and round options, with a pile height of approximately 40 mm and a total weight of 4400 g/m².
