Yes. Wool rugs naturally shed for about three months. Vacuum gently without a beater bar and expect some loose fibers at first.

Yes. A pad keeps the flatweave from sliding and reduces wear, which the maker lists as a way to extend its life.

Spot-clean with mild wool-safe detergent and blot, don't rub. Vacuum regularly on a low setting and avoid soaking the wool.

Is it soft enough for a bedroom?

It is a medium 0.45-inch flatweave, so it is firmer than a plush shag. It suits bedrooms but is not a deep-cushion feel.

Will it work under a dining table?

Yes. The lower flatweave profile lets chairs slide, and wool handles foot traffic well with a pad underneath.

Handcrafted wool rugs can vary slightly in size. Measure your space with a little margin before ordering.
