Yatimo Denim 5' x 8' Rug

Shedding is a normal characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. This process occurs as loose fibers from the weaving process rise to the surface. Regular vacuuming will help manage this initial shedding, which typically subsides significantly after the first few months of use.

A 5' x 8' rug is a highly versatile size, especially for urban apartment living or smaller rooms. In a living area, it is ideal for anchoring a seating arrangement where the front legs of the sofa and chairs rest on the rug to ground the space. It also works beautifully in a bedroom when placed under the lower two-thirds of a queen bed, providing a soft, warm landing for your feet when you step out of bed.

The combination of traditional motifs and a stylized mosaic pattern gives this rug an eclectic, timeless appeal. The denim blue color acts as a "new neutral," adding a sophisticated splash of color that complements a variety of styles, from coastal and rustic to modern-traditional. The geometric pattern provides a structured visual anchor that can help define a room and tie together disparate furniture pieces.

Wool is a naturally breathable and moisture-wicking fiber, which makes it a sophisticated choice for homes in humid or coastal environments. To optimize performance on hard flooring in these climates, we recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad ensures proper airflow beneath the rug, prevents slipping, and provides an extra layer of protection for both the rug's backing and your home’s flooring.

Wool is a premier natural fiber for area rugs, valued for its exceptional durability and soft, plush feel. This rug is crafted from 100% wool, a material that is naturally resilient and able to "bounce back" even after heavy foot traffic. Additionally, wool contains natural lanolin, which provides a built-in layer of stain resistance, making it an excellent long-term investment for a busy home.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-worked accents and stylized mosaic patterning, we recommend regular vacuuming to remove surface dust and debris. For accidental spills, our experts suggest blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth and using mild detergent with cool water if necessary. To ensure this rug maintains its vibrant denim tones and plush comfort for years, it should be professionally cleaned periodically.
