Know before you buy
The flatweave construction is specifically designed for durability. Because it lacks a deep pile, it is less prone to crushing and wear, making it an excellent choice for busy spaces like hallways or living rooms.
Initial shedding is expected with wool rugs, but it will subside with regular vacuuming. Because this is a low-pile rug, the shedding is generally minimal compared to thicker, tufted styles.
Yes, we recommend using a rug pad. Since this rug does not have a non-slip backing, a pad will prevent sliding, provide extra cushioning, and help extend the life of the rug by reducing friction against the floor.
Regular vacuuming without the beater bar is best to keep the rug clean. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; avoid rubbing, which can push stains deeper into the wool fibers.
Yes. Because each rug is hand-crafted by artisans, subtle variations in the weave and color are a natural part of the process. These unique characteristics are what give the rug its authentic, artisanal quality.
The durable wool and cotton blend is resilient, but keep in mind that flatweave rugs can be susceptible to snagging from sharp pet claws. It is a great choice for high-traffic areas, but you may want to monitor it if your pets have long or sharp nails.
