Greek Flokati 1300gram Hand Woven Wool Rug 3' Round (Natural White)

Wool Flokati Rugs have been a Greek tradition for centuries. In The Odyssey, Homer mentions Greek weavers.

The rugs originally serviced the shepherds, who used them as clothing, beds for tents, and to keep themselves warm during the long winter months.
