Description
Striped rug, 8x10 (7'10" x 9'10"), hand-knotted wool in ivory, beige, tan & burgundy. Even horizontal stripes of ivory, beige and tan crossed by thin burgundy lines, edged by a plain burgundy border. We are happy to send natural daylight photos or a short video on request.
Ships January 1–30, 2027. This rug is on its way from our direct import. Order now to reserve it.
Where it fits: Room size: a living room, under a dining table with chairs, or under a queen or king bed. This page offers a Durahold Plus felt-and-rubber pad cut to this rug's size.
Care | Try at home | Free shipping: Vacuum without the beater bar and turn it end to end once or twice a year so it wears evenly. When it needs washing, have it cleaned by a professional rug cleaner, never with a carpet shampooer. One of a kind. Take it home on approval from our Evanston or Chicago showroom, or order it with free U.S. shipping and 30-day returns.
- Vacuum weekly with the beater bar off, and rotate the rug once a year so it wears and fades evenly.
- Spills: blot right away with a clean, damp cloth; never rub. Hand-knotted wool resists stains well.
- Deep clean every 3 to 5 years by a professional who hand washes handmade rugs. We hand wash and repair rugs in Evanston and Chicago.
- Use a rug pad cut to the rug’s exact size, like our Durahold Plus. It stops slipping and protects the knots and your floor.
Pre-order: expected delivery around January 15, 2027

Made by hand, in a family home
This rug was woven on a loom inside a family’s own home, most often by women, one knot at a time. A rug this size takes four to six months to weave, which means steady income for a family in a country where paying work is scarce. We buy directly from weaving families and workshops we know, with no factories and no middlemen.
- Wool: sheared, washed and combed, then spun into yarn, much of it by hand.
- Dye: dyed in small batches, so every rug has gentle color shifts (abrash).
- Weaving: knotted by hand from a pattern or from memory, row after row.
- Finishing: beaten, sheared, singed, washed, stretched and dried by hand.
Rugistan® was founded in 2021 by Shams Frough. He served five years alongside U.S. forces as an interpreter in his native Afghanistan, then made Chicago home, where he put himself through college and is still studying today.
Shams and his wife run Rugistan® together, with showrooms in Evanston and Chicago. He still travels to the weaving regions himself and buys most of our rugs in person, from the families and workshops who make them. That's how we keep our prices fair. We also clean and repair handmade rugs.

About this rug, answered
Is this the only one?
Most of our handmade rugs are one of a kind. If the listing says one in stock, this is the only one. It is on its way from our team in Afghanistan, and once it is reserved it is off the market.
Can I see it before I buy?
This rug has not arrived yet: it is on its way from our team in Afghanistan and is expected to be delivered around January 15, 2027. Before it ships to you we send photos or a video so you see the colors in daylight, and the 30-day return applies after delivery.
Is this rug guaranteed authentic?
Yes. Like every handmade rug we sell, it carries a lifetime guarantee of authenticity and quality. It is what this listing says it is: hand-knotted or handwoven, with the origin, age and materials described. If it ever proves otherwise, bring it back for a full refund.
Will it fit my room?
The exact size is listed above. For a living room, leave about 18 inches of floor around the rug and keep the front legs of the sofa on it. Chat or text us your room measurements and we will tell you honestly if it fits.
Does it come with a rug pad?
Every rug page has a box to add a Durahold Plus pad custom cut to the rug, so the two can arrive together. Rugs over $1,000 include that pad free: keep it in your cart and tell us in chat or in the order note, and we take the pad off the total before the order ships.
How does shipping and returning work?
Free insured U.S. shipping on every rug in the continental U.S. Online orders can be returned within 30 days in the condition received; no restocking fee on our handmade rugs, and exchanges are free within 30 days. Pack the rug the way it arrived, in its original packaging or in plastic.
Is the size exact?
It measures 7'10" x 9'10" (239 x 300 cm), not including the fringe. Handmade rugs can vary slightly from end to end.
How do I clean it?
Vacuum without the beater bar and blot spills right away. A hand-knotted rug should always be cleaned professionally, never in the home. Rugistan® hand-washes and repairs rugs at both showrooms.
