Is a hand-tufted wool rug good for a living room?

Yes. The dense wool pile is warm and soft underfoot, and the solid color sits quietly under furniture. Wool also resists crushing better than synthetic fibers.

Will the Torell rug shed?

New wool rugs usually shed loose fibers for the first few months. Vacuum gently without a beater bar and shedding settles with use.

How do I clean a wool area rug?

Vacuum regularly on low suction and blot spills right away with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a wool-safe method or a professional cleaner.

Does the rug need a rug pad?

A pad is worth adding. It keeps the rug from sliding on hard floors, adds cushioning and reduces wear on the cotton backing.

Which size should I choose?

For a living room, pick a size that lets the front legs of the seating sit on the rug. For a hallway, a runner that leaves a border of floor on each side works best.
