BLOQUES wool rug

Handwoven Wool Rug BLOQUES – Natural Beauty from Santiago del Estero

Clean in form and warm in character, the BLOQUES rug brings the quiet beauty of Argentine craftsmanship into contemporary living spaces. Its softly textured stripes are created using the traditional Peinecillo technique, a weaving method unique to Santiago del Estero in northern Argentina. With this technique, individual wool threads are carefully arranged by hand, forming the rug’s distinctive block-like striped pattern.

Each rug is meticulously handcrafted and made from 100% virgin wool — a natural, durable fiber prized for its warmth, resilience, and soft, tactile quality. The colors are achieved exclusively through plant-based dyes extracted from roots, leaves, bark, and fruits, giving the rug its calm, earthy elegance.

BLOQUES is more than a rug — it is a living expression of culture, where traditional knowledge meets timeless design. Its soft natural tones and clean stripe pattern make it a versatile piece that complements both minimalist and cozy interiors.

By purchasing this rug, you support livelihoods in rural northern Argentina and help preserve Argentina’s rich weaving traditions.
