- Is a hand-knotted wool rug worth it over a machine-made one?
- Yes, if you want longevity. Hand-knotted wool is denser and typically outlasts power-loomed rugs by years, though it costs more and needs a pad and gentle care.
- Does the high pile work in a hallway?
- Not well. High pile catches dirt and foot traffic, so it suits living rooms and bedrooms better than hallways or entryways.
- How do I clean a high-pile wool rug?
- Vacuum without a beater bar, blot spills right away, and have it professionally cleaned every few years. Never machine wash it.
- Will it shed?
- New hand-knotted wool rugs usually shed loose fibers for the first few months. Regular gentle vacuuming reduces it.
- Do I need a rug pad?
- Yes. A pad keeps the rug from sliding, adds cushioning under the high pile, and protects both the wool and your floor.
- Is it suitable for rooms with pets or kids?
- It can work, but the high pile holds hair and crumbs and wool stains if spills sit. Low-pile or washable rugs are easier in busy homes.
