Would you like to feel like you own a blue dog that constantly sheds? If so, this is the rug for you. You have to vacuum this rug everyday and it will absolutely fill the dust bin with blue wool each time. The wool fibers will cover your hardwood floors, counter tops, and stove top in a day. The color is teal, not navy blue (think of the background color to Van Gogh’s Almond Blossom painting and that’s the color.)  You have to vacuum this rug every day, sometimes twice a day just to keep the wool from taking over. My recommendation is to spend the extra money and buy another wool rug. I’ve already downgraded mine from the living room to the hallway. Granted, any wool rug is better than a poly or poly blend rug, but do spend the extra money and buy a loomed wool rug or hand-knotted rug, not hand-tufted-at least not this quality of hand-tufted.
