Contemporary rug. Hand-tufted wool/viscose. Shedding is a normal feature during the initial month of use for this handmade carpet which will subside with subsequent usage. Do not pull on loose ends, trim with scissors. Occasionally an odor might be experienced with a new rug which will disperse quickly once aired. Store your rug by rolling the pile inside and wrap with cloth for protection. Size is approximate; we recommend use of a rug pad (not included). Made in the USA.
