Is this rug good for a living room?

Yes. The 6 by 9 size and dense wool pile suit living rooms and dining rooms with moderate to heavy foot traffic. Wool is warmer and more durable than most synthetic rugs at this level.

Does the wool rug shed?

Yes, some shedding is normal for hand-tufted wool, especially in the first weeks. Vacuum without a beater bar and it settles down over time.

Vacuum regularly and blot spills right away with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a wool-safe cleaner or a professional; do not machine wash it.

Does it need a rug pad?

A pad is recommended. It keeps the cotton backing from sliding on hard floors, adds cushioning and helps the rug wear evenly.

What sizes and colors does the Heritage collection come in?

The Heritage collection comes in several sizes and colorways beyond this 6 by 9 burgundy multi. Check the specific listing for the size and color you want.
