This was absolutely gorgeous when it arrived.  I love wool carpets and have had them in the past which is why I ordered this.  I have never had a carpet shed as much as this one.  It has been a year and four months and the shedding is still terrible.  Stains do not easily come out even from a professional cleaner.  The edges of my carpet look like they are much older then they are.  So disappointed, especially since I bought two!!
