Handmade Cotton Flatweave Rugs
Our cotton rugs are handwoven from cotton thread in Rajasthan. They are softer and lighter than wool or jute, with no pile and no glue. Flatweave cotton rugs from India are also often called cotton dhurries. New to flatweaves? Read what is a flatweave rug.
Soft, lightweight, and handwoven in Rajasthan using natural cotton thread. Every order ships free worldwide, arriving in 3 to 5 days.
A cotton rug trades the coarser texture of wool or jute for something softer and lighter underfoot. Woven from natural cotton thread on the same traditional looms used across our kilim rug collection, these rugs bring a gentler feel to a room while still holding up to daily use, thanks to a tight, durable flatweave construction.
A few reasons customers choose this collection:
• A noticeably softer, smoother feel than wool or jute rugs
• Lightweight and easy to move, roll, or reposition
• Handwoven by artisans in Rajasthan, India
• Available in the same full range of sizes as our kilim collection
• Custom sizes available on request
Why choose cotton
Cotton thread is naturally smooth, so these rugs feel gentler underfoot than wool or jute. They are also light enough to lift, shake out and move between rooms, which suits apartments, rentals and homes where rugs get repositioned often.
What Makes a Cotton Rug Different
Cotton fiber is naturally softer and smoother than wool or jute, which is the main reason to choose this collection over our other rug styles. The weave itself follows the same flatweave technique, meaning there is no pile, no backing, and no glue holding the rug together, just interlocked cotton thread built directly into the pattern.
Because cotton is lighter than wool or jute, this rug is also easier to lift, shake out, or move between rooms, which some customers prefer for smaller spaces or homes where rugs get repositioned often.

Care Guide
Vacuum with gentle suction and shake the rug out now and then. Blot spills straight away with a clean cloth. Cotton copes with a little dampness better than jute, but do not soak it, and do not machine wash unless we have told you a specific rug is washable. Keep it out of long direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a cotton rug as durable as wool or jute?
Cotton flatweave rugs suit everyday use in bedrooms and living rooms. Wool and jute are generally tougher in very busy entryways, so choose those for the heaviest traffic.
Is a cotton rug the same as a cotton dhurrie?
They are closely related. Dhurrie is the traditional Indian word for a flatweave rug, and cotton is one of the classic dhurrie materials. See our traditional Indian dhurrie rug for an example.
Are these rugs reversible?
Yes. Our cotton flatweave rugs are flatwoven and can be flipped and used on either side.
Do they come in the same sizes as your kilim rugs?
Yes. The standard range runs from 2×6 ft to 9×12 ft, and custom sizes are available on request.
Can I put a cotton rug in the wash?
Please do not, unless we have told you that specific rug is washable. Spot clean and air dry instead.
Do you ship this rug internationally?
Yes, shipping is free to the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and most other countries. We dispatch within 1 to 2 business days and delivery takes 3 to 5 business days. See our Shipping Policy for duties and taxes.
