Dash & Albert Avery Pewter Blue Tufted Wool Rug

Inspired by substrate layers of sandstone sediments that chronicle the millennia, this luxurious, irregularly striped wool rug will stand the test of time. The subtle degradations of a natural undyed fleece pile enhance the finely observed irregular striping in a softly mineral palette. The subtle beauty of the higher sheared tufts emphasizes the contrast of the densely looped stripes. A signature motif of Marie Flanigan, an award-winning interior designer. This rug is a part of our design collaboration with Marie to produce a lifestyle collection that reflects her signature style of timeless elegance and innovative simplicity. Crafted by artisans committed to fair-labor practices. Made in India. FEATURES & BENEFITS: Durable construction; plush feel; eye-catching, unusual weave. Because the weave lies in a single direction and is not apt to pull, hand-knotted rugs can appear lighter from one angle than the other - an optical illusion that is part of their appeal. WHERE TO USE: Area rugs that are perfect for "center stage" rooms like the living room, dining room, or master bedroom. Learn more. It is common for wool rugs to shed, as they are created from natural fibers that form long strands of material that are then hand-knotted to create delightfully soft and durable area rugs. Due to the sheared pile, loose fibers will eventually work their way to the surface. If your wool area rug starts shedding, this is normal. Just trim any tufts of wool that appear with a sharp pair of scissors; do not pull the fibers. Even though shedding does occur and is not preventable there are steps you can take to help maintain the shedding of your wool rug.
