RUCKSTUHL SCHWARZNASE is a carpet made entirely in Switzerland by Ruckstuhl. The long, soft wool from black-nosed sheep from the Zermatt region is processed by regional partners and arrives at our manufactory as a purely natural product. Here we produce an undyed, completely natural carpet from the high-quality wool yarn: RUCKSTUHL SCHWARZNASE. The Black Nose is a horned mountain sheep from the Valais, closely related to the primeval sheep. Its long, muted white wool is soft, poor and consists of 85% air - ideal for the microclimate in any arum.
With its archaic-looking naturalness, RUCKSTUHL SCHWARZNASE makes a statement of cosy homeliness in any room. The undyed fibre with its restrained expression goes well with other muted as well as contrasting colours. RUCKSTUHL SCHWARZNASE is available in three variations that give the carpet different faces and looks thanks to the natural wool. This makes every carpet unique.
HORU is the very soft, fluffy, high loop.

Caroline Weder Carrarini
In 2013 the designer Caroline Weder Carrarini from Zermatt (in the Swiss Valais) founded her start-up company NEESCHI – the Valais dialect word for the blacknose sheep. She has made it her mission to use the top-quality wool of the sheep once again for the manufacture of top-quality products. ‘The passionate sheep breeders get hardly anything now for the wool they work so hard to get – many of them just have to throw it away,’ she says. ‘It’s a crying shame. And yet they put so much heart and soul into their work, and the raw material is of outstanding quality.’ She knew from her grandmother that in the old days wool from the blacknose sheep had been used to make carpets. ‘So I started to dream of the blacknose carpet. A pure Swiss product. And Ruckstuhl in Langenthal turned out to be the perfect partner.’
