Anaia Blue 7'9 x 9'9 Rug

With dimensions of approximately 7'9" x 9'9", this rug serves as an ideal anchor for most standard-sized rooms. In a living room, it is large enough to sit comfortably under the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs, creating a cohesive seating area. For a bedroom, this size is frequently recommended for placement under a queen or king-sized bed, providing a soft, warm landing for your feet on both sides of the mattress.

It is perfectly normal for a high-quality wool rug to experience some shedding during the first three to six months of use. This is not a defect but rather a result of small fiber pieces working their way out of the natural thick pile. Regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting will help manage this initial shedding, which will significantly diminish over time as the fibers settle.

This rug is hand-hooked by skilled artisans, a process that creates a distinct, looped texture rather than a cut pile. This construction method results in a supportive and substantial feel underfoot. Because the wool is pulled through the backing in continuous loops, it provides excellent durability for residential spaces while showcasing the intricate details of the traditional floral pattern with a soft, handcrafted aesthetic.

Wool is a premier natural fiber known for its exceptional resilience and longevity. This rug is crafted from 100% wool, which contains natural lanolin—a protective coating that makes the fibers inherently resistant to stains and soiling. Unlike synthetic alternatives, wool fibers have a natural "crimp" that allows them to spring back after being compressed by footsteps or furniture, ensuring the rug maintains its thick, plush pile for years.

Yes, wool rugs are often preferred for pet-friendly and allergy-conscious homes. Wool acts as a natural air filter, trapping common allergens like dust and pollen within its fibers until they can be vacuumed away. Additionally, the natural durability of this hooked wool construction stands up well to foot traffic, though we recommend keeping pet nails trimmed to prevent any snagging of the artisan-hooked loops.

Wool is a highly breathable, "active" fiber that naturally wicks moisture, making it a versatile choice for various climates. In more humid or coastal environments, it is important to maintain regular airflow and vacuuming to prevent the organic fibers from holding excess moisture. Because wool is naturally antimicrobial and resistant to dust mites, it remains a healthy and durable choice for homes near the coast.

To preserve the integrity of the wool fibers, we recommend vacuuming at least once a week using a vacuum with the beater bar turned off or set to a high-pile height. High-powered rotation can "fuzz" the natural fibers of a hooked rug. For spills, our care expertise suggests blotting immediately with a clean, white cloth and lukewarm water; avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the wool’s natural protective oils.
