This rug shed a LOT for several months. We vaccuumed it every other day and filled the vacuum bag in the first week. Now, several months later it is done shedding. I Love it! Colors are muted, more green than blue. We ordered the "Supreme all surface area rug pad" to use with it. It makes the rug feel very thick and luxurious.
I only gave it 4 stars because of the shedding, would have given it 4-1/2 if it was possible.

Pros: Very nice wool area rug for the price.
Cons: Be prepared for lots of shedding the first few months
