Do hand-tufted wool rugs shed?

Lightly, for the first few weeks. Vacuum without a beater bar and the shedding settles down on its own.

Ivory lifts a room with dark seating and makes a small space read larger. Charcoal grounds a light room and is more forgiving in a high-traffic hallway or office.

How do I clean a wool rug?

Vacuum regularly, blot spills with cold water and a clean cloth, and have it professionally cleaned every couple of years. Avoid soaking it or using harsh detergents.

How to choose the right rug size

In a living room, the rug should sit under the front legs of every seat in the group at minimum. A rug floating in the middle of the floor is the single most common reason a finished room still looks unfinished.

Under a bed, run the rug from about two-thirds of the way up the mattress out past the sides by at least 18 inches, so your feet land on wool when you get up.

In a dining area, add 24 inches on every side of the table so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.

Why hand-tufted wool

Hand-tufting lets a maker carve height differences into the pile, which is where the relief pattern in these rugs comes from. You get a visible design without a single loud colour.

Wool is naturally springy and soil-resistant: it hides everyday dust, recovers from furniture dents and takes vacuuming well. Expect light shedding for the first few weeks, which settles with regular vacuuming.

Use a rug pad. It stops slipping, adds cushion underfoot and meaningfully extends the life of the pile.
