According to a report by the General Food Council (CGAAER) published in 2023, French wool faces double competition from synthetic materials and low-cost countries. The French sector must therefore be rebuilt and new outlets must be found to promote it. It is the starting point of our business!
We designed the Rug with a latex layer so that the mat is non-slip on both sides. It sticks to the ground. On the practice surface, it offers an anchor to perform gentle yoga and dynamic yoga poses. The use of wool offers a cocooning aspect. Its smell makes it easy to disconnect.
No, almost all of our users considered it not scratchy. The addition of a layer of latex used to make it anti-slip also reduces friction with wool, while leaving the feel and odors of wool almost intact.
Like a wool sweater, wool can be cleaned by itself when you let it air out. In general, ventilate the Carpet as regularly as possible to make the wool breathe. Regular cleaning extends the life of the carpet. Vacuum as soon as necessary to remove dust.
PVC rugs are durable and have a good grip. They are not biodegradable or ecological. Natural rubber mats are biodegradable and anti-slip but come from the other end of the world (Southeast Asia, South America). The Wool Rug is designed from a natural, renewable and French material. We only use a thin layer of latex to make it slip-resistant.
In the practice of yoga
Your questions about accounting for the carpet with your practice? It's over here.
A yoga mat is a non-slip surface designed for the practice of yoga, to prevent slipping during postures. It provides support, comfort, and grip. It also protects against hard and cold surfaces. We have worked to give the Wool Carpet all these qualities in order to ensure a safe and comfortable practice.

A yoga mat provides cushioning for the joints. At 5 mm, the thickness of the Wool Rug is particularly comfortable for the joints. The application of a thin layer of latex is there to ensure good adhesion during the poses. A yoga mat creates a clean and reassuring space for practice and thus facilitates concentration. The scent of the wool carpet reinforces the impression of a safe space.

Materials and durability
But finally, why wool?
No, almost all of our users considered it not scratchy. The addition of a layer of latex used to make it anti-slip also reduces friction with wool, while leaving the feel and odors of wool almost intact.
There are mats made of PVC, natural rubber, cork, and TPE. But be careful! , because even if brands often present them as sustainable and ecological rugs, most of these materials come from the other side of the world (Southeast Asia or South America). This is why our Larzac wool is a real responsible choice.

Eco-friendly rugs can be just as durable as traditional rugs. Durability depends on use and maintenance. Wool rugs do not contain chemicals. All production is carried out in France, in the region, with a network of companies committed to the social and solidarity economy.
Choosing a natural material is a first subject. But to limit the carbon footprint of the carpet, we chose to produce our Wool Rug from French wool, exclusively recovered from Larzac on farms in the AOP Roquefort. We also keep our packaging to the bare minimum.
Care and cleaning
How to take care of your wool carpet?
Like a wool sweater, wool can be cleaned by itself when you let it air out. In general, ventilate the Carpet as regularly as possible to make the wool breathe. Regular cleaning extends the life of the carpet. Vacuum as soon as necessary to remove dust. Regular cleaning prevents bacteria and dirt from building up.
Store it in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding it to prevent marks and creases. In case of extended storage, use a carpet bag to protect it from dust and dirt. Make sure the rug is dry before putting it away.
No, the Wool Rug cannot be put in the machine. Wool is said to be self-washing. The best thing is to ventilate it regularly. Wool fiber does not retain odors and does not catch dust. It is a hypoallergenic material.
Wool does not retain odors. To maintain the Carpet, ventilate it regularly, which helps to make the material breathe and maintain your Carpet.
No, this is not our recommendation because the wool experience, whether it is its touch or its smell, is part of the value of the Wool Carpet. On the other hand, if you practice outside, we recommend that you put a towel under the Rug to limit the exposure of wool, especially on dirty surfaces.
Health and comfort
And the characteristics of the rug?
A thick yoga mat can cushion and relieve joints. Without removing the need for stability in practice, the Wool Rug was designed to provide support for knees and elbows. Larzac wool, from Lacaune sheep, has particular bouncy qualities, particularly recognized in the field of bedding.
The quality of the mat is important for relieving postures that stress the back. Again, Larzac wool is a particularly suitable material. Some yoga poses can help strengthen and relieve the back. Consult a professional before starting if you have pain.
For gentle yoga, a thicker, softer mat is ideal. It offers more comfort for extended poses. The Wool Rug provides extra support and is soft on the skin.
Of course it depends on your allergies! But wool is known to be a hypoallergenic material. In principle, no allergic risk is therefore associated with wool.
On the other hand, we use a thin layer of latex to make the mat anti-slip. So check that you are not allergic to it.
The rug is unisex. Due to our production conditions, we currently have a single size: 190x61cm
