- Is a hand-knotted wool rug worth it over a machine-made one?
- Hand-knotting builds a denser, more durable pile that can last for decades with care, which machine-made rugs rarely match. You pay more upfront for that construction and the handwork.
- How does the Henders differ from tufted geometric rugs?
- It is knotted rather than tufted, so the pile is tighter and the pattern is woven in rather than cut. The washed finish also gives it a softer, less crisp look than many tufted designs.
- Does the wool shed?
- New wool rugs shed loose fibers for a while. Vacuum without a beater bar and the shedding settles with regular use.
- What size should I choose for a living room?
- Choose a size that lets the front legs of your seating sit on the rug, or go larger so the whole seating group fits. Measure the room before ordering.
- How should I clean it?
- Vacuum regularly and blot spills right away with a clean cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a professional rug cleaner rather than machine washing.
- Does it need a rug pad?
- A pad is recommended on hard floors to prevent slipping, add cushioning and reduce wear on the knots.
