Shuttleworth Weaving – Mindful Living

Who doesn’t love a little creative upcycling that helps reduce environmental degradation?

While Shuttleworth Weaving mostly works with natural fibre in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, the brand adores the soft, durable rugs in the Polypropolene Outdoor Range. Polypropolene is plastic waste that would otherwise be used in industrial processes or turned into ‘nurdles’ by recyclers. The metamorphosis of seemingly useless materials into tactile works of art is testament to the mindful, creative process that is important to us.

These rugs come in a wide range of calm, on-trend colours – taupe, cream and grey. Not only do they feel good to walk and lie on, but these rugs are resistant to stains, damage from humidity, easy to clean, dry quickly, making them ideal long-lasting solutions for patios, decks and high-traffic areas of your home, office or resort.

A skilled team of spinners and weavers will happily design and hand weave the textured fibre into the perfect rug for your space whether it is an intimate living room or a vast reception area. They custom-make any size up to an astonishing 8.5metres wide and as long as your imagination requires.

By supporting local businesses like Shuttleworth Weaving that preserve traditional craftsmanship and boost community livelihoods, you are not only adding something incredibly special to your home but making a statement that values human skill, ingenuity and craftmanship.

In a world where it often seems difficult to have a positive impact, Shuttleworth Weaving offers you the opportunity to make a considered choice that is truly sustainable.
