Do you Tulu?



I Love textiles…the older, the more graphic the better.


I recently brought home a small sweet 90 year old Turkish Tulu rug.


That’s almost 700 years…in Dog years.

Tulu actually means long haired in Turkish…

They were made by mountain nomads


coarsley woven with long goats wool


…often using the natural color.


It is said they were made to be used as mattresses. Oh my back.

Ours is subtle, and could be used as a rug…or a throw on a chair, bed or sofa…
