FAQs

Vintage pieces trend narrower and longer (great runners); new and custom weaves are widely available in standard sizes like 5×8, 8×10, and 9×12.

Wool can trap dust and allergens until vacuumed and resists dust mites; however, those with wool/lanolin sensitivities should consider alternatives.

Many handle low/medium pile, but fringes and thick shags can tangle. Use “no-brush” or low-agitation modes and keep robots off fringe.

Wool is best indoors or covered areas only; moisture can cause mildew. For patios, choose an indoor/outdoor construction that mimics Moroccan patterns.

Yes—prefer low or medium pile and a breathable pad to let heat pass. Very thick shags can insulate too much.

A felt + natural rubber pad adds cushion and grip; avoid cheap PVC pads that can discolor hardwood. Size the pad about 1–2 inches smaller than the rug.

Wool naturally resists soiling and odors; pick low-pile or flatweave to reduce snagging and make cleanup easier. Blot accidents immediately to prevent set-in stains.

Quality wool is resilient and bounces back well; choose lower pile or flatweaves for doorways and busy rooms, and rotate every 6 months.

Some pieces—especially vivid reds/pinks—can bleed if saturated. Always color-test with a damp white cloth and keep cleaning solutions mild and cool.

Spot-clean with wool-safe detergent and cold water after a dye-stability test; avoid over-wetting. For deep cleaning or unstable dyes, use a professional.

Use suction-only or a beater bar set high/off, vacuum with the nap, and avoid brushing long pile or loops to protect fibers and edges.

Expect initial shedding for 3–6 months; vacuum gently (suction only or very high pile setting) and avoid aggressive beater bars to minimize fuzz.
