I think the rug is quite attractive and plush under foot.  But I washed it once, and the washing machine was full of shreds of cotton.  I had to scoop it out of the washer.  Then I dried it and had to deal with the same thing.  The lint trap was very full.  I'm surprised there is any rug left.  The next batch of clothes came out covered in lint and had to be rewashed.  I doubt I will wash it again.  I will probably replace it.
