This rug is absolutely lovely and we get so many compliments on it. It’s thick and warm and works very well in our mid-century modern ranch. That said, it sheds quite a bit. We have a Dyson vacuum and apparently the suction can be too intense for wool rugs. Light use of the rug creates little tumbleweeds of fibers on a daily basis that require vacuuming and the vacuuming may actually make it worse but at least it picks up the tumbleweeds. It’s a catch 22. I want to love this rug but it’s like having a pet without actually having one.
