Im so disappointed in this rug! The design and colors are beautiful and just what we wanted. However, it sheds something awful. I know wool rugs are prone to shedding but we have had ours for almost a year now and it can't go a day without vacuuming. The fibers pill together and we find clumps all over the carpet. My son who still crawls is covered from head to toe if he crosses the carpet even if I have just vacuumed. Any article clothing or body part (hands, feet) that come into contact with the rug come away covered in little fibers.  It's worse than having a dog. If I could send it back now, I would!
