Glided Dunes Brown 7'9 x 9'9 Rug

To protect both your flooring and the rug itself, we highly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad provides extra cushioning, prevents the rug from shifting or bunching, and allows for better air circulation. This is especially important for preserving the densely woven backing of a handmade rug over time.

Since this rug is handmade from handspun wool, some initial shedding is a normal characteristic of the material and craftsmanship. This occurs as small, loose fibers work their way to the surface. We recommend regular vacuuming—ideally with a suction-only setting or a vacuum where the beater bar is turned off—to manage shedding during the first few months.

The space-dyeing process involves applying multiple colors to a single strand of yarn before weaving. This creates subtle, tonal variations within the geometric pattern, giving the rug a more organic and dynamic look compared to flat, solid-colored rugs. This technique ensures that each handmade piece has a unique, high-end artisanal finish.

Wool is a breathable, natural fiber that performs well in many environments. In more humid regions, wool's ability to manage moisture can be a benefit; however, it is important to keep the rug in a climate-controlled room. In high-humidity areas, we recommend ensuring the rug is placed in a space with consistent air conditioning or dehumidification to prevent the fibers from retaining excess moisture and to maintain the rug's structural integrity.

This size is ideal for anchoring a standard living room or a large dining area. In a living room, it is large enough to sit comfortably under the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs, creating a cohesive conversation area. For a bedroom, this scale works perfectly placed horizontally under a queen or king-sized bed, leaving plenty of soft surface area for your feet on either side.

Yes, wool is one of the most resilient natural fibers available for home decor. The fibers possess a natural elasticity that allows them to "spring back" after being compressed by footsteps or furniture, making this rug an excellent long-term investment for busy areas. Additionally, wool contains natural oils (lanolin) that provide a degree of built-in stain resistance, helping to repel liquids and soil.
