Sagarmatha Teal 2'3 x 7'6 Rug

Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and is typically most noticeable in the first few months of ownership. This is not a defect but rather the release of excess fibers from the hand-tufting process. Based on our experience with this material, regular vacuuming on a low-suction setting will significantly reduce shedding over time until the fibers stabilize.

Yes, wool is one of the most resilient natural fibers available, making this runner an excellent choice for high-traffic transitional spaces. The inherent elasticity of wool fibers allows them to "spring back" after being stepped on, which prevents the rug from looking matted or worn over time. This natural durability ensures the runner maintains its plush feel and vibrant teal tones even in the busiest areas of a contemporary home.

While wool is incredibly durable and naturally resistant to pet hair, loop pile rugs can sometimes be susceptible to snags if pet claws are sharp or if pets tend to scratch at the floor. However, the tight construction of this hand-tufted rug offers more resistance than standard loops. For pet owners, we recommend keeping nails trimmed to preserve the integrity of the loop pile and ensure long-term beauty.

Wool is a breathable, natural fiber that manages moisture well, making it a sound choice for humid regions. Unlike some synthetic materials that can trap odors, wool’s natural properties help it stay fresh. To ensure the best performance in humid environments, we recommend using a high-quality rug pad to improve airflow underneath the runner and provide extra stability on hardwood or tile floors.

This rug features a hand-tufted loop pile that offers a superb blend of softness and marvelous durability. Unlike traditional cut pile rugs, a loop pile creates a dense, sturdy surface that is highly resistant to crushing and visible footprints. This construction provides a comfortable, textured feel underfoot while standing up to the rigorous demands of daily household use.

The collection utilizes a unique space-dying technique that imparts a dramatic depth and dimension to the teal color palette. By dying the yarn with multiple colors along its length before weaving, the rug achieves an urban-inspired, variegated look. This technique not only creates a "cosmopolitan chic" aesthetic but also helps to naturally disguise light wear and minor debris between cleanings.

To keep your wool runner looking its best, our expert care guide recommends regular vacuuming to remove loose fibers and debris. For spills, it is crucial to blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth using mild detergent and cool water. You should avoid scrubbing, as this can damage the natural fibers. Because wool is naturally stain-resistant, most household messes can be managed easily with prompt attention and proper technique.
