Anaia White 7'9 x 9'9 Rug

Wool is a highly breathable and moisture-wicking natural fiber, which helps it regulate indoor humidity better than many synthetic alternatives. However, in humid coastal environments, we recommend ensuring consistent airflow in the room to maintain the rug's freshness. Pairing your rug with a high-quality rug pad is an expert-recommended step to provide necessary ventilation between the rug and the floor, which prevents moisture from becoming trapped.

To preserve the natural thick pile and fresh appearance of a wool hook rug, it is critical to avoid high-suction vacuums with rotating beater bars, which can pull at the hooked loops and cause fraying. Instead, use a vacuum with adjustable height settings or a suction-only attachment. This ensures you remove deep-seated dust while protecting the delicate craftsmanship of the hooked construction.

Absolutely. The 0.5-inch natural pile height and the inherent density of wool make this rug an excellent acoustic solution. It serves to absorb echoes and dampen floor vibrations, significantly reducing sound transfer—a major benefit for city dwellers living in apartments or homes with open-concept layouts and hard flooring.

Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool fibers, particularly in handcrafted hooked constructions like this one. This occurs as shorter "staple" fibers work their way to the surface. Based on our material expertise, we recommend light vacuuming without a beater bar twice a week during the first few months. This allows the rug to "settle" naturally without compromising the structural integrity of the artisan-made loops.

While white may seem like a high-maintenance choice, 100% natural wool is inherently resilient. Wool fibers contain lanolin, a natural protective oil that acts as a primary defense against spills by preventing liquids from immediately soaking into the core. Additionally, the bold floral pattern of this specific collection provides "visual durability," helping to mask minor tracking better than a solid-colored rug. Our care guide recommends immediate blotting with a pH-neutral cleaner and cool water for any accidents.

This size is a versatile "anchor" for both living and sleeping areas. In a living room, it is large enough to sit under the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs, creating a unified seating zone. For bedrooms, this size is ideal for a queen-sized bed; when placed under the lower two-thirds of the bed, it leaves approximately 18 to 24 inches of soft wool pile on either side, providing a comfortable and warm landing area for your feet.
