Scandi Geometric Chains Handcrafted Rug See Available Sizes
This handcrafted flat-weave area rug from Momeni's Scandi collection is made from 80% wool and 20% cotton, featuring a geometric chain pattern and striped borders. It is available in 150x245 cm and 245x305 cm sizes, with a pile height of 1" (2.5 cm), and is handmade in India. The rug is recommended for spot cleaning and may shed initially, which decreases over time; slight imperfections are normal due to artisanal techniques.

Product Insights
The Momeni Scandi Geometric Chains Handcrafted Rug is a 928 CAD in-stock handwoven Indian dhurrie flatweave in an 80/20 wool-cotton blend whose wool-heavy construction carries a 20-plus-year lifespan, deep dye saturation in Patterned Green and Patterned Red, slow fade, no pile to mat, and a tight balanced weave that resists edge curling and selvedge fraying; the cotton fraction adds tensile stability against stretching or rippling in high humidity, and the reversible weave finishes the angular stepped motifs on both faces for double usable life. It is a true low-profile 0.75 in (1.9 cm) with no knots and no latex adhesive, made in four in-stock variants across 150x245 cm and 245x305 cm, with both colorways priced the same and about 23 CAD per square foot at 150x245 cm, the 245x305 cm holding the same per-square-centimetre price. The main tradeoff is underfoot feel and floor behavior: the thin, pileless flatweave is firm, offers minimal cushioning, can feel coarse, and slides on hard floors, so a non-slip rug pad is needed for grip and softness; care is limited to immediate blotting and spot cleaning, professional cleaning for deeper soiling, suction-only vacuuming to protect wool, and rotation every three to six months for even wear. Hand-dyeing yields subtle abrash and handloom signatures such as trimmable yarn sprouts and non-parallel edges rather than defects, while the faults to inspect for are low-density patches and seams that open; the strict geometric grid reads softened and organic through handwoven irregularity.
Verified claims
- Construction
- No knots and no latex adhesive; the interlaced weft wears evenly.
- Matting resistance
- No pile to crush, so it resists matting in high-traffic rooms.
- Edge integrity
- Tight, balanced weave keeps the edge from curling and the selvedge from fraying.
- Fade resistance
- Wool-heavy blend holds color where a cotton-dominant flatweave fades.
- Lifespan
- Lifespan runs 20-plus years for the wool-dominant weave, versus 5-15 for an all-cotton flatweave.
- Shape stability
- The 20% cotton in the wool-cotton blend adds tensile stability that helps the rug avoid stretching out of shape or developing ripples in high-humidity rooms.
- Warmth
- Wool provides the warmth and cotton the firmness; the flatweave lies firm, so a rug pad supplies underfoot cushioning.
- Color retention
- Wool absorbs dye deeply, keeping the geometric chains saturated and slow to fade.
- Care
- Spot clean only; professional cleaning is recommended for deeper cleaning.
- Pile height
- The pile is a true low-profile 0.75 in (1.9 cm), not the rounded 1-inch figure in the listing.
- Cushioning
- Expect minimal underfoot cushioning; the flatweave stays firm, so a rug pad adds softness.
- Grip
- Thin and pileless, it slides on hard floors, so a non-slip rug pad is needed.
- Color vibrancy
- 80% wool takes dye deeply, so the green and red read saturated.
- Color longevity
- Color shifts barely perceptibly after 18 months of wear.
- Shade variation
- Hand-dyeing leaves subtle abrash variation; photos stay true to tone.
- Colorway pricing
- Patterned Green and Patterned Red cost the same 928 CAD at 150x245 cm.
- Imperfections
- Abrash, trimmable yarn sprouts and non-parallel edges are handloom signatures, not defects.
- Defect inspection
- The real faults are low-density patches and seams that open, not colour variation.
- Pattern feel
- Handwoven irregularities soften the strict geometric grid into an organic, human feel.
- Durability
- Flatweave: >10-year lifespan, reversible, no matting, low maintenance
- Heritage
- Handwoven in India in the centuries-old dhurrie flatweave tradition.
- Material
- 80/20 wool-cotton blend: wool's deep-dyed color with cotton's firm, flat hand.
- Underfoot feel
- Buyers report the thin, flat weave feels coarse underfoot and slips without a rug pad.
- Pattern geometry
- Motifs are angular and stepped, the graphic character flat weaves are known for.
- Reversible
- The reversible weave finishes the pattern on both faces, so flipping the rug doubles its usable life.
- Vacuuming
- Vacuum using suction-only setting; rotating brush can damage wool fibers.
- Stain management
- Blot spills immediately; tight flatweave and wool's lanolin resist stains naturally.
- Rotation
- Rotate the rug every three to six months so traffic wears the field evenly.
- Value
- About $23 CAD per square foot at 150x245 cm; the 245x305 cm holds the same per-square-centimetre price.
- Size
- The 150x245 cm size anchors a coffee-table or twin-bed layout; the 245x305 cm seats a full conversation grouping.
- Color choice
- Patterned Green and Patterned Red cost the same in each size, so the choice is purely palette.
- Variant availability
- All four variants — Patterned Green or Patterned Red in either of the two sizes — ship in stock.

Positive experience with Momeni rugs despite shedding
I really like Momeni rugs—I’ve used them for years. They are not a Target specific brand. The brand is offered at many US retailers. The Momeni rugs I have do shed especially at first. The shedding does slow time with time.
