Firdale Yellow 2'6 x 8' Rug

For any runner placed in high-traffic areas, we highly recommend using a non-slip rug pad. Because this rug is hand-tufted wool, a pad provides essential grip to prevent shifting, bunching, or slipping on smooth surfaces. Additionally, a quality rug pad acts as a protective buffer, absorbing the impact of foot traffic to extend the life of the rug fibers while protecting the finish of the flooring underneath.

Wool is exceptionally resilient and naturally stain-resistant, making it one of the most durable materials for high-traffic zones. This runner features a dense, textural cut and loop pile that stands up well to daily foot traffic while maintaining its plush feel. For long corridors or active entryways, the natural strength of wool ensures the fibers spring back rather than crushing over time, providing a long-lasting and sophisticated foundation for your floors.

Some initial shedding is expected with hand-tufted wool rugs as the loose fibers settle; this is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool. Based on our care expertise, we recommend vacuuming the rug regularly without a beater bar to manage this process safely. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a mild detergent with cool water. This method preserves the natural lanolin in the wool, which helps the rug maintain its luster and stain-resistant properties.

Space-dying is a specialized technique where a single strand of yarn is dyed with multiple colors along its length. In this rug, the process creates an abstract, organic shifting of softly saturated blues, greens, copper, and gold. This result is a sophisticated layering effect that mirrors natural elements, ensuring the color palette feels dynamic and nuanced rather than flat, which helps it blend seamlessly with a variety of contemporary decor.

At 8 feet long, this runner is ideally sized for transitional spaces such as narrow hallways, galley kitchens, or along the side of a bed. Its 30-inch width provides sufficient coverage to define a walkway while still leaving a visible border of your flooring. This creates a balanced, curated look in smaller urban apartments or larger suburban homes by adding warmth and noise reduction to hardwood or tile floors.
