We used two types of yarns from the highest grade of New Zealand wool to create a floor covering that's cozy, plush and inviting to bare feet. The thicker yarns on this shag rug are double felted for a dense cushiony feel, and the thinner yarns are tightly twisted for texture. Hand loomed of pure wool. Sheared pile is velvety to the touch. Use with our Rug Pad (sold separately). Imported.
