Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
How should I clean and maintain a premium wool rug?
To preserve the integrity of the fibers, our care experts recommend vacuuming regularly using a suction-only setting (avoiding a beater bar). For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a small amount of mild detergent mixed with cool water. Because these yarns are hand-spun and dyed, we recommend professional cleaning every 1–2 years to maintain the vibrant color variations.
Is an 8' x 10' rug the right size for my seating area?
An 8' x 10' "estate size" rug is ideal for anchoring furniture in average-to-large living rooms. To create a cohesive look, position the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on it. This helps define the seating zone and prevents the furniture from looking "unmoored" within the room.
What are the primary benefits of a 100% wool rug?
Wool is a high-performance natural fiber that offers superior softness and natural insulation. The premium wool in this collection undergoes a specialized smoothing technique to produce a yarn that is significantly softer than standard wool rugs. Additionally, wool is naturally flame-retardant and features a protective lanolin coating that helps repel dirt and stains.
Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas like a living room or entryway?
Yes. Wool is a naturally resilient fiber known for its exceptional durability and "spring-back" ability, making it a premier choice for high-traffic zones. This specific rug features extra-thick, hand-spun yarn that resists matting and maintains its plush, luxurious feel even with frequent daily use.
Why do the colors in this rug have subtle variations?
The sophisticated color depth is a result of the artisanal hand-spun dyeing process. Unlike modern machinery that produces flat, uniform colors, hand-dyed wool absorbs pigments with soft, natural variations. This creates a one-of-a-kind statement piece that perfectly complements Southwestern, rustic, or contemporary decor.
Will this rug hold up well in humid coastal or southern climates?
Wool is a naturally breathable and moisture-wicking material, making it more adaptable to humid environments than many synthetic alternatives. To ensure maximum longevity in humid climates, we recommend pairing the rug with a high-quality rug pad to improve air circulation underneath the fibers and prevent moisture from being trapped against the floor.
