The Mistfell Blue 8' x 10' 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 a wool rug considered a high-quality choice for high-traffic areas like a living room?
Wool is prized in furniture design for its natural resilience and exceptional durability. The fibers have an inherent elasticity, allowing them to "bounce back" after being compressed by foot traffic or heavy furniture. Furthermore, wool contains lanolin, a natural coating that provides a degree of built-in stain resistance, making it an authoritative choice for households that prioritize both luxury and long-term performance.
What is a "hand-tufted" rug with a "cut and loop" pile, and how does it feel?
This rug is hand-tufted, a process where artisans use a tufting gun to create the design, which is then secured with a durable backing. This specific piece features a dense cut and loop pile, which combines upright fibers (cut) with loops to create a multi-dimensional, textural surface. The result is a substantial, plush feel underfoot that adds visual depth and a sophisticated, organic texture to your space.
How do the abstract pattern and space-dyed colors work within a modern decor scheme?
The abstract design is inspired by the organic layering found in nature, making it an ideal focal point for modern or contemporary rooms. By using space-dyed wool, the rug achieves softly saturated transitions between blue and green tones, accented by warmer shades of copper and gold. This technique ensures that the colors shift naturally across the surface, allowing the rug to bridge the gap between cool-toned furniture and warmer wooden accents.
What is the best way to clean and maintain a wool rug to prevent shedding?
New wool rugs will naturally experience some shedding, which is a hallmark of the natural fiber. Our experts recommend vacuuming your rug at least once a week using a vacuum without a beater bar, or with the bar set to the highest setting, to avoid pulling at the tufts. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and mild detergent mixed with cool water; never scrub, as this can damage the wool fibers and the textural loop pile.
Is an 8' x 10' rug the right size for a standard dining room or a large seating area?
An 8' x 10' rug is a highly versatile choice for common home layouts. In a dining room, it typically accommodates a table for six to eight guests, ensuring that the chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out—usually extending 24 to 30 inches beyond the table edge. For living rooms, this size is ideal for anchoring a seating group, allowing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs to rest on the rug, which helps define the space in open-concept homes.
Should I use a rug pad with this specific wool rug?
Yes, we strongly recommend pairing this rug with a high-quality rug pad. A pad serves three critical functions: it provides a non-slip foundation to keep the rug securely in place, adds an extra layer of cushioning for comfort, and protects both the rug’s backing and your hard flooring from friction. This simple addition significantly extends the life of your investment by reducing wear on the wool fibers.
