Callabee Off-White 5' x 8' Rug

Wool is a practical and high-performing choice for active households. Natural wool fibers contain lanolin, a wax that provides an inherent layer of stain resistance, making it easier to clean up after pets or children. While the off-white and black contemporary pattern offers a modern look, the sturdy hand-tufted construction ensures the rug can withstand the daily activity of a busy family home while remaining hypoallergenic and soft underfoot.

A 5' x 8' rug is a versatile size for defining specific zones within a home. It is perfectly scaled to ground a seating area in a smaller living room or urban apartment. In a bedroom, it can be placed horizontally under the bottom two-thirds of a queen-sized bed to provide a soft, warm landing for your feet. With a low 0.37-inch profile, it also fits comfortably in transitional spaces without interfering with door clearance.

Some shedding is a perfectly normal characteristic of high-quality, natural wool rugs and is a sign of the material's authenticity. This typically occurs most frequently when the rug is new as loose fibers from the tufting process rise to the surface. Regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting will help manage this, and the shedding will naturally decrease over time as the rug settles into your home.

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your rug, our care guidelines recommend vacuuming regularly without a beater bar. Beater bars can be too aggressive on hand-tufted natural fibers and may cause premature wear. For accidental spills, we recommend blunting the liquid immediately with a dry, clean cloth—blotting rather than rubbing—to prevent the stain from setting into the wool fibers.

Yes, wool is widely considered the premier natural fiber for durability and resilience. This area rug is hand-tufted from natural wool, which features a unique "spiral" structure that allow fibers to bounce back after being stepped on. This makes it an excellent choice for hallways or living rooms where foot traffic is frequent, as it resists crushing and maintains its plush feel over time.

Natural wool is a breathable, "intelligent" fiber that manages moisture better than many synthetic alternatives. In humid or coastal environments, wool can absorb and release moisture without feeling damp to the touch. To ensure the best performance in these climates, we recommend using a high-quality rug pad to allow for proper airflow beneath the rug and to prevent moisture from becoming trapped between the rug and your flooring.
