Glided Dunes Brown 8'6 x 11'6 Rug

Yes, minor shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool and is not a sign of a defect. Based on our expertise with natural fibers, we recommend vacuuming your rug regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum without a beater bar. This gently removes loose fibers without agitating the weave, and you will find that the shedding subsides significantly after the first few months of use.

This rug is handmade, a process that ensures a level of detail and character that mass-produced items lack. By using handspun and space-dyed wool, the rug achieves a dynamic, multi-tonal look with organic variations in color and texture. These subtle "imperfections" are hallmarks of high-quality craftsmanship and ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.

Wool is a breathable natural fiber that is surprisingly well-suited for various climates. While it is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, in more humid environments, we recommend using a high-quality rug pad underneath. This provides essential air circulation between the rug and the floor, protecting your flooring and ensuring the wool remains fresh and dry.

Wool is a naturally resilient fiber with a unique "crimp" that allows it to spring back after being stepped on, preventing the flattened appearance often seen in synthetic rugs. This rug is handmade with a densely woven surface and handspun wool, which enhances its durability and ensures it can withstand the daily rigors of a busy household while maintaining its structure.

Wool is one of the most family-friendly materials available. It is naturally stain-resistant thanks to the lanolin in the fibers, which helps repel liquids and prevents spills from soaking in immediately. Additionally, wool is inherently flame-retardant and non-synthetic, making it a safer, non-toxic choice for children and pets to play on.

This "family-size" rug is ideal for large living rooms or open-concept spaces. For a cohesive look, a rug of this scale should be large enough to allow the front legs of all your primary seating—such as your sofa and armchairs—to rest on the rug. This helps define the seating area and prevents the furniture from looking like it is "floating" in the room.
