Common pitfalls & our guard-rails

• Shedding on wool rugs → tighter shearing, fibre spec, vacuum guidance card; first-wash lint control for throws.
  
• Latex odour/curling → low-VOC latex + full cure; anti-curl weights & reverse roll SOP.
  
• Shade drift lot-to-lot → lab-dips, master shade swatches, ΔE limits on PO; retain library.
  
• Size variance/bow → loom set-up sheets; blocking/wet stretch; ±3% tolerance control.
  
• Print bleed/poor fastness → pretreatment & cure windows (screen/digital); fastness testing per colour.
  
• Shrinkage/pilling → pre-wash/steam set; Martindale/ICI targets locked at PP.
  

Mini case snapshot

A US D2C brand replaced jute dhurries with GRS-certified PET flatweaves from Panipat and paired Jaipur block-printed cushions. Results: returns down 29% (curl/odour fixes), colour stories refreshed per season with quick strike-offs, and average order value rose via coordinated “room in a box” bundles.

Buyer FAQs

Will wool rugs shed?
Some initial lint is normal; we control fibre length, shearing and provide care cards.
Anti-slip needed?
Yes for smooth floors—spec TPR backing or add underlay.
Block prints—will colours vary?
Handmade variation is part of the charm; we set ΔE limits and reference masters.
Outdoor rugs fade?
We use solution-dyed PET/PP and test to light fastness ≥ 6 where required.
Organic/recycled content?
Available (GOTS/GRS). We provide chain-of-custody paperwork.
