I really wanted to get this post up because I am so enamored with shag-modernrugs.com but I haven't a whole lot of time to describe completely their deliciousness!!
They offer the best in flokati rugs, at the best prices, with the best customere service, at your door practically the day before you order. I have two 5 x 7's and have purchased, for my non-internet friends, their very own flokati rugs...also from shag-modernrugs.com.
I recommend the plush 4000g flokatis. Much thicker and can handle plenty of action. I wouldn't go less than 4000g unless it is just for show or sits in a mostly unused guest room. There is a huge difference between the weights and I think it is absolutely worth the price difference.
We have four pets who sleep on them constantly and a son with many friends who romp on them...... and still they retain their thickness, their stand-up shag look and with a shake here and there...they manage to remain clean. This continues to surprise and impress me.
The process and history of the flokati can be found easily with a google search. Because of the process...the wool retains some oil making them resistant to dirt. Smaller sizes can be machine washed in cold water. Otherwise.....one can soak them in a tub and allow to dry outside in the shade. Vacuum without the roller...just use a suction attachment. More info. can be found at the shag-modernrug site.
Prices vary greatly from site to site. I believe shag-modernrug to be the least expensive and the quality is unsurpassable.
Lastly, flokatis add great style and elegance in settings from mid century to contemporary to eclectic and classic. Pretty awesome.
