Class
Made by JOV
Class is a JOV rug quality built on an uncommon premise: wool and natural silk spun together into a single premium yarn before the weaving begins. The result is not a layered effect but a true material fusion, where the silk contributes a subtle luminosity and velvety hand, and the wool provides structural integrity, warmth, and long-term resilience.
At an equal 50/50 composition, neither fiber dominates. The surface catches light with quiet depth rather than overt sheen, making Class well-suited to interiors where restraint and material richness coexist. It reads differently at different times of day, shifting gently between matte and luminous as light conditions change.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a wool-silk blended rug different from a layered one?
In Class, wool and silk are spun together into a single yarn before weaving, so the two fibers are inseparable throughout the pile. This produces a more unified surface character than rugs where silk and wool are woven in separate passes, resulting in consistent texture and light behavior across the entire field.
Is silk durable enough for everyday use in a rug?
Natural silk is strong in tension but can be sensitive to heavy abrasion when used alone. In a 50/50 blend with wool, the wool provides the structural resilience that compensates for silk's wear sensitivity, making Class suitable for residential settings including moderately trafficked living and dining areas.
Can JOV Class be made in a custom size or color?
Yes. Class is made to order and available in custom dimensions as well as custom color development. Specifications are confirmed through the inquiry process, where technical requirements and lead times are addressed directly.
How should a wool-silk rug be cleaned and maintained?
Wool-silk rugs should be professionally cleaned by a specialist experienced with natural fiber blends. Routine care involves gentle vacuuming without a beater bar. Prompt attention to spills is important, as silk can be sensitive to moisture and harsh alkaline detergents.
What pile height and weave construction does JOV use for Class?
JOV does not publish a single fixed specification for Class, as construction details can be tailored during the custom order process. The quality is defined primarily by the blended yarn composition rather than a single weave structure, and technical details are best confirmed at the time of inquiry.
