Pasadena Heights Light Blue 3'6 x 5'6 Rug

Wool is highly breathable, which allows it to manage moisture better than many synthetic materials. In high-humidity or coastal areas, we suggest pairing the rug with a quality rug pad to enhance airflow underneath the piece. This prevents moisture from becoming trapped between the rug and the floor, ensuring the natural fibers remain fresh and dry.

This "studio size" rug is specifically designed to define and "zone" smaller spaces. It is the perfect scale to anchor a dedicated reading nook under an accent chair, provide a soft and warm landing area beside a bed, or add a sophisticated touch to a compact entryway. Its rectangular shape helps elongate the visual lines of a room, making smaller floor plans feel more organized and intentional.

To preserve the integrity of the handwoven fibers, we recommend vacuuming this rug regularly using a suction-only setting. It is important to avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar, as aggressive brush rolls can pull at the natural wool loops. Because wool contains natural lanolin—an organic oil that acts as a protective barrier—spills will often bead on the surface briefly. Blot any accidents immediately with a clean, dry cloth and cool water to prevent the stain from setting into the fiber core.

Wool is one of the most resilient materials available for busy households because the fibers are naturally elastic, allowing them to "spring back" even after heavy foot traffic or furniture compression. Furthermore, the transitional plaid pattern in shades of light blue and ivory is excellent for masking pet hair and daily wear, providing a high level of visual durability compared to solid-colored alternatives.

This rug is handwoven from 100% natural wool fibers, making it an excellent choice for those prioritizing a non-toxic home environment. Unlike many synthetic rugs that can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), natural wool is a clean, sustainable material. Additionally, wool is naturally fire-resistant and acts as a natural air filter, trapping common allergens like dust and pollen until they can be vacuumed away.

Yes, shedding is a standard characteristic of high-quality, handwoven natural fibers and is not a sign of a defect. This occurs as small, loose fibers work their way to the surface during the initial break-in period. You can manage this by vacuuming lightly once or twice a week. Over time, as the rug settles into your space, the shedding will significantly diminish.
