Knaod Black/Multi 5'6 x 7'5 Rug

Shedding is a completely normal characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. It occurs when small, loose fibers from the hand-tufting process rise to the surface. To manage this, we recommend regular vacuuming. Within the first three to six months of use, the shedding will naturally subside as the fibers settle into the backing.

Based on our specialized care guidelines for hand-tufted wool, you should vacuum this rug regularly to remove dust and debris. However, it is critical to use a vacuum **without a beater bar** (or with the beater bar turned off). The rotating brush of a beater bar can be too aggressive for the delicate "carved" textures and hand-tufted loops, potentially causing fuzzing or pulling the fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and cool water.

This rug is available in multiple sizes to fit various floor plans. The 5'6" x 7'5" version is particularly well-suited for a contemporary home office or an urban apartment's smaller seating area. In a workspace, this size perfectly anchors a desk and an office chair, such as the Oatman chair, ensuring the front legs of your furniture sit securely on the rug to define the zone. For larger suburban living rooms, the 7'9" x 9'9" or 8'6" x 11'6" variations are recommended to ensure the rug extends 12 to 24 inches beyond your sofa and chairs.

Wool is one of the most resilient natural fibers available, making it an exceptional investment for high-traffic spaces. Its natural elasticity allows the fibers to "spring back" after being stepped on or compressed by furniture. Additionally, wool contains natural lanolin, which acts as a protective coating that repels liquids and soil, providing inherent stain resistance that synthetic materials often struggle to match.

Yes, wool is a highly practical choice for active households. The tight weave of a hand-tufted construction is naturally resistant to snagging from pet claws. Because wool is a natural, non-toxic fiber, it provides a safe and hypoallergenic surface for children to play on. For owners in humid or coastal climates, ensure the room has good airflow, as wool is a breathable material that naturally manages moisture, though it should be kept in a dry environment to maintain its integrity.

The daringly dimensional texture of this rug is achieved through an expert hand-tufting and carving process. Artisans vary the pile heights and manually carve the multi-toned strokes of beige, blue, and orange to stand out against the black backdrop. This creates a tactile, 3D-like effect that adds visual depth and a luxurious feel underfoot, making the rug feel more like a piece of floor art than a simple covering.
