FAQ's Answered in Blog Posts:

Choosing the Right Rug Size 

Repairs and Restoration: Does your rug have damage from wear, age, moths or pets? Don't worry, nice hand made rugs can be repaired!

Sprouts: What may look like a snag or piece of yarn taller than the others

Shedding 

White Freckles: Little white spots appearing between the weave

Fading: All rugs will fade eventually. Rotating rugs will keep the fading even. Naturally dyed wool rugs fade slower. Consider an undyed natural wool, there are no dyes to fade

Moth Prevention:  

Creases/Furniture Marks: To remove creases or furniture marks the best thing to do is give it some time, wool fibers have "memory" and will usually return to their original shape after a period time. If you wish to speed up the process try gently rubbing an ice cube over the surface of the crease or furniture mark. Don't allow the fibers to get saturated just moisten them a little and then allow it to air dry. You can do this a couple times, always allowing it to fully dry before you repeat the process. Just remember - Give it time.
