- Is a wool and silk rug durable for daily use?
- Yes. Hand-knotted wool is dense and resilient, and the silk adds strength to the pattern. Keep it out of wet areas and rotate it occasionally to even out wear.
- Does the silk make the rug shiny?
- The silk gives the pattern a soft luster rather than a high gloss. It shows most in angled light and fades into the wool pile from above.
- Will this rug shed?
- New hand-knotted wool rugs shed loose fibers for the first few months. Vacuum gently without a beater bar and shedding settles with use.
- What size room does a 6' x 9' rug fit?
- It suits living rooms, dining tables for four to six, and larger bedrooms. In a living room, leave the front legs of sofas on the rug.
- Does it need a rug pad?
- Yes. A pad keeps the rug from sliding on hard floors, adds cushioning and reduces wear on the knots.
- How should I clean it?
- Vacuum regularly on low suction and blot spills right away. Have it professionally cleaned every few years rather than machine washing it.
