Paradover II Wheat 3' x 5' Rug

A 3' x 5' rug is a versatile accent piece ideal for defining smaller functional zones. In a bedroom, it provides a soft, warm landing when placed alongside a bed. It also serves as an excellent foundational piece for entryways or small home offices. If you are looking to anchor a larger seating area, consider the 5' x 8' or 8' x 10' variations of this rug, ensuring the front legs of your furniture rest on the edges to create a cohesive look.

Wool is a highly breathable, moisture-wicking fiber that naturally regulates humidity within its structure. Unlike some synthetic materials that can trap moisture and develop odors, the organic makeup of this rug allows for better airflow. In particularly humid environments, ensuring the room is well-ventilated and using a high-quality rug pad will help the rug "breathe" and maintain its earthy, organic wheat tones for years to come.

Absolutely. The density of a hand-loomed wool rug makes it an exceptional choice for sound dampening. In apartment settings, the thick wool fibers help absorb ambient noise and reduce sound transfer between floors. Additionally, for homes with cold tile or hardwood, the natural insulating properties of New Zealand wool help retain heat, making your living space more energy-efficient and comfortable during cooler months.

New Zealand wool is widely considered a gold standard in the textile industry due to its superior softness, strength, and purity. This rug utilizes these premium fibers to provide a luxurious underfoot feel while offering natural resilience. Wool is inherently elastic, meaning the pile can withstand heavy foot traffic and the weight of furniture, springing back to its original shape more effectively than synthetic alternatives.

Yes. One of the greatest advantages of a 100% wool rug is the presence of lanolin, a natural oil found in the fibers. This organic coating acts as a protective barrier, causing liquids to bead on the surface rather than soaking in immediately. For optimal maintenance, our care guidelines suggest blotting spills promptly with a clean, dry cloth and cool water to preserve the integrity of the wool.

Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool and is a sign of the fiber's authenticity. For a hand-loomed rug like this one, we recommend regular vacuuming to manage loose fibers. To protect the hand-loomed construction, use a vacuum with low suction and avoid using a rotating beater bar, which can over-agitate the wool and cause excessive "fuzzing." Shedding typically diminishes significantly after the first few months of use.
