The graphic global designs of this traditional area rug are reminiscent of roads less travelled. Intricate Kazak rug motifs, including geometric patterns and repeating floral fields, are depicted in desert-inspired shades of warm red, gold, burnt sienna and sky blue. Natural 100% wool fibers and hand-tufted construction reflect the rugged sensibilities of each rug's nomadic design, while a washed finish gives the rustic rug a refined hand. It's perfectly normal for new wool rugs to shed. This happens as a result of loose fibers created during the weaving process. Regular vacuuming 2-3 times a week will help keep it under control until the rug has been seasoned and no longer sheds.
