Frequently Asked Questions
What construction do Tierra rugs use?
Pendleton Tierra rugs are woven in a flat weave, meaning the wool fibers are woven tightly across the surface without a raised pile. This keeps the rug low-profile yet durable.
How does flat weave feel underfoot?
Flat weave rugs feel smooth and flexible, making them comfortable underfoot and easy to move or layer. Their low profile also works well under furniture and in high-traffic zones.
Where do Tierra rugs perform best?
Because of their flat weave, Tierra rugs are ideal in entryways, dining areas, kitchens, hallways, and living spaces where foot traffic is frequent.
How do they compare to other Pendleton collections?
Tierra rugs are flatter and lighter in profile compared with hand-tufted or hand-knotted collections like Classics or Reserve. The look is more casual, versatile, and easy to live with in everyday spaces.
Do these rugs work with layered décor?
Yes. Their low profile makes Tierra rugs excellent for layering over larger base rugs or under seating and tables without creating height issues.
Do Tierra rugs need a rug pad?
We recommend a thin, grippy rug pad to keep a flat weave stable and prevent slipping—especially in high-traffic areas or on hard surfaces.
How do I care for a flat weave rug?
Vacuum regularly (without a beater bar). Spot clean spills promptly, and consider professional cleaning for deeper care. Rotate the rug periodically to even out wear and sun exposure.
