My mom has had a Karastan rug for 30 years now and it's in gorgeous condition and it has never once shed. It's also wool. I need to purchase one, but I don't like the old fashion designs on the Karastan rugs...does anyone know what other brand rug is equal to a Karastan rug that doesn't shed? I wish Karastan made more modern rugs in wool.
Most new wool rugs will shed as that is there nature. The saleslady is correct in her assumption to a certain degree. Depending on your vacuum cleaner, it could take less than 3 months or it could even take longer. The main thing is not to worry, as there will not be any significant loss of overall weight due to the shedding. Also, if you have pets, keep an eye on them as they will often times mark a wool rug, sometimes on numerous occassions as they sense a competitive animal near by. If you do not have pets your self, be cautious of visiting pets as they will also mark the rug.(when pets mark a rug they use urine).
okorder if you have any questions or need to know a nearby retailer that has the products I mentioned.
Brand doesn't matter. Any good quality wool rug will not shed. Shop quality, not brand.
