Ravenna Gray 8'6 x 11'6 Rug

Yes, shedding is a common and natural characteristic of premium handmade wool rugs. It is simply the result of small fiber fragments working their way to the surface after the weaving process. Based on our expertise with these materials, we recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting (avoiding a beater bar) to manage the shedding, which will typically subside significantly within the first few months of use.

While the wool component of this rug is naturally durable and soil-resistant, the viscose elements are chosen for their luxury and "silky-smooth" feel. This makes the rug best suited for medium-traffic areas such as a primary bedroom or a formal living room. For homes with very active pets, we recommend placing this rug in a space where it can be admired while remaining protected from heavy wear to best maintain its lustrous finish.

This rug utilizes a strategic blend of natural wool and viscose to balance durability with a luxury aesthetic. The wool provides a resilient, soft foundation that stands up well to foot traffic, while the viscose fibers are interwoven to create a "silky-smooth pile" and a "captivating sheen." This combination ensures the rug feels substantial underfoot while offering a high-end, reflective finish that shifts beautifully with the light in your room.

Known as a "mansion size" rug, this 8'6" x 11'6" piece is designed to anchor large open spaces. It is an ideal choice for a grand living room where you want all furniture legs to rest comfortably on the rug for a unified look. It also performs exceptionally well in large dining rooms; the generous dimensions ensure that even when guests pull out their chairs, the legs remain on the rug, providing a stable and premium dining experience.

High-low yarns refer to a specialized weaving technique that creates varying pile heights across the surface. In this modern banded design, the technique is used to add a three-dimensional sense of depth. This creates a more sophisticated visual than a standard flat rug, as the "high" yarns catch the light and shadow differently, emphasizing the banded pattern and adding a tactile, textured quality to your floor.

Because of the delicate nature of viscose, which provides the rug's "captivating sheen," we recommend immediate and careful spot cleaning. If a spill occurs, blot—do not rub—the area with a clean, dry white cloth to absorb the moisture. Viscose can be sensitive to heavy saturation, so for significant stains, our care guidelines suggest consulting a professional rug cleaner to preserve the integrity and silky texture of the fibers.
