The Mistfell Blue 5' x 8' Rug is a hand-tufted collection constructed of space dyed wool and features a dense, textural cut and loop pile. Designs recall the organic shifting and layering of natural elements over time and that idea is echoed in the softly saturated blue and green tones as well as warmer shades of copper and gold.

Why is wool a preferred material for high-traffic area rugs?
This rug is crafted from space-dyed wool, a premium natural fiber celebrated for its exceptional durability and inherent resilience. Wool fibers are naturally elastic, allowing them to "spring back" even under the weight of furniture or frequent foot traffic. This density helps the rug maintain its plush, textural integrity over years of use, making it a high-value investment for busy households.
What is the benefit of a "cut and loop" pile construction?
The dense cut and loop pile construction provides a rich, multi-dimensional texture underfoot. By varying the height and style of the wool fibers, this technique creates a tactile surface that mirrors organic, shifting patterns. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, this construction is more effective at hiding footprints and vacuum marks than traditional uniform piles.
Is this rug suitable for an urban apartment or narrow floor plan?
Yes, the 5' x 8' rectangular shape and abstract pattern make this rug an excellent choice for urban apartments or multi-functional spaces. The shifting blue and green tones can help a smaller room feel more open and airy, while the scale is perfectly sized to ground furniture in more compact or narrower layouts without overwhelming the floor space.
What size rug should I choose for a small living room or apartment?
A 5' x 8' rug is a versatile choice, particularly suited for defining a seating zone in a smaller living room or placing beneath a coffee table. To ensure the space feels balanced, our design experts recommend the "18-inch rule," where you leave roughly 18 inches of bare floor between the rug's edge and the walls. This creates a curated, intentional look that prevents the room from feeling overcrowded.
Is it normal for a new wool rug to shed?
Minor shedding is a common characteristic of high-quality hand-tufted wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. Based on our expertise with natural fibers, we recommend regular vacuuming during the first few months of ownership. This process effectively removes loose fibers and will significantly subside as the rug settles into your environment.
How do I properly clean spills or stains on a wool rug?
For wool rugs, immediate action is critical to prevent stains from setting. Our care guidelines suggest blotting spills promptly with a clean, dry cloth—never rubbing—and using a mixture of mild detergent and cool water if a deeper clean is required. It is important to avoid harsh chemicals, as they can strip the natural lanolin that protects the wool fibers.
