This rug sheds more than any wool item (rug, sweater, or otherwise) I have ever owned.  It is so shoddily made that even daily vacuuming, that fills up the container, does not leave any dent in the amount of wool fibers that end up on other parts of our floor or our daughter's clothes.  Even worse, it looks like the wool may be causing a reaction on our daughter's skin (again, not the case with other wool items).  Proceed with extreme caution.
