traditional woolen bed spread (cover)


Explanation:
Jambolija is usually used as a cover for beds and sofas etc., not as a rug - well, maybe nowadays.

Flokati rug


Explanation:
After the rug is hand-woven from 100% wool, each flokati rug is placed, for up to approximately forty hours, in a soap-and–chemical-additive-free whirlpool bath filled with water from canal-channeled mountain streams from the Pindos river. It then emerges decadently thick because water pressure has caused its pile to swell. The flokati rug then is hung up to dry naturally, and “graded’ according to the weight of its wool (alphabetically). This is then usually put onto a synthetic backing. The heaviest, most luxurious flokati rugs weigh up to approximately 4000 grams per square meter
