Quince Troy Wool Rug

Hand-knotting is a labor-intensive, traditional technique where each knot is tied individually by hand. This construction method creates a exceptionally durable rug that is designed to last for years, often becoming more comfortable and resilient with age.

Yes, New Zealand wool is naturally durable and resilient, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas. However, because it has a high pile, it is best suited for spaces where you want comfort and warmth rather than high-traffic entryways where dirt accumulation might be harder to manage.

Yes, a rug pad is highly recommended. Since this rug does not have a non-slip backing, a pad will prevent it from sliding on hard floors, provide extra cushioning, and protect the wool fibers from premature wear by reducing friction against the floor.

To keep the rug in top condition, vacuum it regularly using a suction-only setting. Avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar or rotating brush, as this can pull at the wool fibers and cause shedding or damage to the knots.

Because this rug is artisan-crafted, there will be subtle variations in the design and color of each piece. These slight imperfections are not defects but rather the hallmark of a handmade item, ensuring your rug is truly one-of-a-kind.

It is normal for high-pile wool rugs to shed some loose fibers initially, especially during the first few months of use. This is a natural characteristic of wool construction and will gradually decrease with regular, gentle vacuuming.
