A genuine flokati rug is a wool rug. They date back to 5th Century Roman province of Macedonia, where they were created by Vlach shepherds. After the rug is hand-woven from 100% wool, each flokati rug is placed, for up to approximately forty hours, in a soap-and–chemical-additive-free whirlpool bath filled with water from canal-channeled mountain streams from the Pindos river. It then emerges decadently thick because water pressure has caused its pile to swell. The flokati rug then is hung up to dry naturally, and graded alphabetically according to the weight of its wool. This is then usually put onto a synthetic backing. The heaviest, most luxurious flokati rugs weigh up to a little less than one pound per square foot.
