Is it normal for my new rug to shed fibers?Updated 3 hours ago

Yes, shedding is a natural part of owning a new rug made from natural fibers. During the initial period, loose fibers work their way out as the rug settles into your home, a process that is especially common with handwoven or wool rugs and reflects the authenticity of the materials. It’s a surface-level process and does not affect the rug’s durability or structural integrity. 

Persistent heavy shedding, however, can indicate issues with fiber quality or construction.
