Handmade Antique Mashad Ivory/ Green Wool Rug (8'3 x 11')

The colors in this rug are beautiful. The "red" is actually more of a wine/dark russet color, the "green" is a lovely soft sage, and there is a good amount of a warm, creamy gold tone. When I unrolled the rug, I noticed immediately how nice and thick it was. I put a thin rug pad under it, but I don't think it would really slip on my floor. The only drawback that I've noticed is that it sheds A LOT! The yarns also seem very prone to pulling. I do have a cat, and the rug appears to get little tufts just from him running on it. (Although, he has "christened" it by sharpening his claws on it now and then! When that happens, you can see where it looks "disturbed" but it doesn't get thinner or get holes in it...thank goodness!) I've had it since December, and it looks nice despite the tufts sticking up here and there. So, I'm not sure if it's the quality of the wool or the deep pile that makes it prone to shedding and "tufting". I previously purchased a wool rug from Overstock for another room in my house, and have not had any shedding with that rug.
