Shaggy Plain ARS G016

Cozy shaggy rug from Mischioff

A high-pile carpet represents coziness and creates an inviting and cozy living atmosphere. This is why floor coverings are becoming increasingly popular.

Smooth or shaggy – the main thing is high pile

Although there is no fixed definition, experts generally refer to a pile height of around 1.5 centimeters as high pile. However, the length of the fibers can also be significantly longer and amount to three to four centimeters. The longer the pile or the individual fibers, the more “shaggy” is the look. Such a carpet looks cozy, but is often not easy to care for.

Differences can also be found in the material and production. If you pay attention to high quality, you should always choose a handmade carpet made from pure natural materials . After all, a comfortable shag carpet should provide years of enjoyment. The fluffy comfort of long-pile carpets is unparalleled and is suitable for almost every room. When your feet sink into the cozy shaggy pile, you'll understand what we're talking about.

Hand-knotted deep-pile carpets made from natural materials

The material is crucial for quality and feel. Mischioff relies on pure natural materials . Our own carpet collections consist exclusively of high-quality virgin wool, sometimes combined with fine silk or pure silk. The high quality of the raw material plays a crucial role: the higher quality the materials, the softer the carpets . For this traditional Swiss company, only the highest quality types of wool are considered.

Virgin wool from the Himalayas , Chinese silk and the sustainable and vegan fiber Lyocell serve as valuable raw materials for the versatile collections. These materials not only impress with their soft and fluffy surface, but are also robust and easy to care for . The natural materials are naturally stable and dirt-repellent, which means that the carpets retain their elegance even after many years of use.

Clean and care for shag carpets

Shaggy carpets are cozy living companions , but they can also have some disadvantages. Depending on the pile height, Shaggys are generally more difficult to clean than other carpets. Despite regular vacuuming, dust and dirt can get stuck between the fibers. Therefore, such a carpet should be beaten out more often . For stubborn stains, professional carpet cleaning is recommended.

Due to the complicated care required, most Mischioff collections offer short-pile carpets with a pile height of around eight to ten millimeters. But there are also high-pile models in our range: For example, our luxurious Svarga Collection made of 100% pure high-pile silk with a pile height of around two centimeters and our extremely comfortable Shaggy Plain Collection made of 100% Lyocell with a fiber length of around three centimeters .

A disadvantage of high-pile carpets can be the lint and hair on the carpets. A shag carpet loses fibers more often than a short-shorn carpet because the high-pile fibers are easier to pull out. The most important criterion for quality is the knot density. The more densely a carpet is knotted, the fewer fibers it loses .

Hand knotting is preferable to the machine version. Machine-made carpets are significantly more prone to shedding , which means that the deep pile loses its elegance after a while. A hand-knotted Mischioff carpet with its careful and fine weaving prevents the carpets from shedding.

Shaggy carpets in the best hand-knotted quality

The deep pile carpets from the traditional Swiss company are always handcrafted, high-quality products . These designer pieces are a far cry from the “shaggy carpets” that are often offered in furniture store chains. Perfect workmanship and the best material quality ensure that Mischioff customers can enjoy their deep pile for a long time.

With a large selection of our own carpet lines, the range offers the right carpet for almost every taste and furnishing style. The production of the high-quality carpets takes place exclusively in our own Manufactory in Nepal.

All collections are made entirely by hand

Before the high-quality material can be combined into a carpet, it goes through various work processes . In addition to combing, washing, spinning and dyeing the wool, this also includes the subsequent carpet weaving . After the carpet is completed, it is subjected to an intensive quality check by experienced employees.

The versatile range offers carpets of different styles: whether patchwork carpets , silk carpets or vintage carpets - the Mischioff collections have something to suit every style.

Deep pile carpets from the Marouk Collection

We would like to introduce you to some of our other collections as examples of our range. The carpets in the Marouk Collection are available in individual sizes and colors. Visually, these carpets resemble a classic Berber carpet, although, in contrast to the Moroccan model, the pile is smooth and not shaggy.

The carpets from the Shaggy Plain Collection are made from the sustainable cellulose fiber Lyocell. With their individual and natural look, Plain Carpets offer a special charm. With a deep pile of around 30 millimeters, the carpets have an extremely soft character and are still extremely easy to care for.
