The hand-knotted craftsmanship and natural wool material are highly commended for their detail, softness, and perceived durability. While initial shedding occurs, it is considered a minor issue.

Know before you buy
Hand-knotting is a labor-intensive process where each knot is tied individually by hand, creating a significantly stronger and more resilient rug than machine-made alternatives. This construction method ensures the rug can withstand high-traffic areas while maintaining its structural integrity over time.
Yes, because this rug does not have a built-in backing, we recommend using a rug pad. A pad will prevent slipping, provide extra cushioning, and protect your floors from potential friction.
The 90% wool content provides a soft, luxurious texture and natural stain resistance, while the 10% cotton adds structural stability. This blend is durable for everyday use, though wool rugs should be vacuumed regularly without a beater bar to keep the fibers in top condition.
Because these rugs are crafted by hand, slight variations in the weave, texture, and color saturation are expected. These nuances are a hallmark of artisanal production and ensure that your specific rug has a unique character not found in mass-produced items.
With a 0.3-inch thickness, this rug falls into the medium pile category, making it versatile for most rooms. It is low enough to allow most doors to swing over it easily, yet thick enough to provide a comfortable, cushioned feel underfoot.
