Custom-Made Wool and Mohair Rugs, Hoffman Rugs offers a truly bespoke rug-making experience, where every piece is meticulously crafted to meet the exact specifications of the client.
Using the finest washed sheep’s wool and mohair, the fibers are carded (combed), dyed, and spun into textured yarns, which are then hand-woven into one-of-a-kind rugs and carpets. This attention to detail allows Hoffman Rugs to maintain complete control over the entire production process—from the initial design to the final stitch—ensuring each rug is a unique masterpiece. Known for their versatility, Hoffman Rugs can create custom pieces in virtually any size, colour, and design.
Each rug is handmade to the highest standards, with a focus on quality craftsmanship. The finished product is carefully completed with sewn hems (unless fringes are specifically requested), ensuring a refined and professional edge. Most rugs are reversible, fully washable, and easy to maintain, making them as practical as they are beautiful. With over 60 years of experience, Hoffman Rugs has built a trusted reputation both in South Africa and internationally.
Whether a client is seeking a statement piece for their home or a luxurious custom rug for a commercial space, Hoffman Rugs delivers a combination of unparalleled craftsmanship, quality, and personalization. Transform any space with a bespoke rug that reflects individual style and sophistication.
The Tugela is our lighter-weight rug (weighing approximately 5.5 – 6 lbs per square meter). It is made from a combination of thicker and thinner yarn, giving more potential for color effects and combinations. This rug has a more regular ‘knobble’ pattern.
The Super Karoo is a heavier-weight rug (weighing approximately 6.8 lbs per square meter). It is woven in thick yarn only and has a more irregular “knobble” pattern.
The Tsumeb is extra thick and luxurious being a double-twist Karoo yarn weave (weighing between 8 - 8.8 lbs per square meter) and is our heaviest texture. Made of felted wool, it has an attractively undulating, wavy texture. Like all other weaves it is available in all our colours, or in a combination of two colors and is reversible and washable.
The rugs are reversible. For maximum benefit, turn the rug over every few months to wear both sides equally.
Vacuum regularly with suction only, as brushes and beaters tend to roughen up the wool fibers.
Some initial shedding is a normal occurrence in any pure wool rug. These loose fibers can be safely pulled off or cut away. Thereafter, the rug will “settle” and should no longer shed fibers.
Spot-remove stains immediately as they occur.
Never steam-clean a hand-woven wool rug, as hot water or steam can damage the wool fiber and cause wool to shrink. Rather clean by gentle washing with a mild detergent or consult a reputable carpet cleaner.
Washing can be done at home - small rugs in the washing machine on the wool cycle, larger rugs in a bath tub or spread out on a patio, lawn or drive-way, sprinkled with mild detergent and sprayed with the hose pipe. Care must be taken to rinse out all traces of detergent, as soap residue can harm and dis-color natural fibers. Try and choose a dry, sunny and windy day
