Emerson Handwoven Wool Rug

The Emerson rug features a 0.25-inch pile height. This low-profile design makes it a practical choice for high-traffic areas or spaces where you need to ensure doors can open and close easily over the rug.

While the rug features a durable synthetic latex cotton backing, we always recommend using a rug pad. A pad will provide extra cushioning, prevent slipping, and help protect both your floors and the rug's fibers from premature wear.

Hand-knotted rugs are among the most durable options available. Because each knot is tied by hand, the construction is exceptionally tight and resilient, allowing the rug to withstand daily foot traffic while maintaining its shape and texture over time.

Yes, the 100% wool construction and hand-knotted weave make this rug highly durable and well-suited for high-traffic zones like dining rooms or living areas. Wool is naturally resistant to crushing and staining, which helps it maintain its appearance even with frequent use.

It is normal for new hand-knotted wool rugs to shed slightly, especially during the first few months. Regular vacuuming without a beater bar will help manage this and will decrease over time as the rug settles.

For routine maintenance, vacuum regularly using a suction-only vacuum or one with the beater bar turned off to protect the fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, undyed cloth; avoid rubbing, which can push stains deeper into the wool.
