My experience is that wool rugs shed like crazy. Does the wool sisal shed?

K9, mine has not. It doesn't really have a pile so maybe that helps.

Check out www.naturalarearugs.com They have sisal-look wool rugs at reasonable prices.

As far as shedding, I think it depends on the technique that's used.

Check Grandinroad they have some fantastic rugs. http://www.grandinroad.com/

Thank you all for the suggestions. Gosh, I didn't realize what bargains we've found for the rest of the rugs in our home. These sites are putting me into sticker shock, even with their good prices and special sales.

We rearranged our living room tonight (so happy with the new layout!) and now I'm convinced we need an even bigger rug. I came across a "typical family room" bound remnant locally that's just a 12' x 12' creamy tan rug with white, gold and dark brown flecks for $200. The carpet is good quality and pretty soft. The size is just about perfect. It's not a WOW rug, but, it would be versatile for changing up throws and pillows. Should I just cave and give up the hunt?

Well made wool rugs don't shed much, maybe a few fibers at the beginning. Just avoid hand-tufted, which shed continuously, smell, have a short life span, and are priced much higher than their quality warrants.

I found a rug I love at Lowe's try there very reasonable price. Another place with awesome rugs is Tuesday Morning stores.

Yes, we have 2 wool rugs. One is a shedder, one is not. This isn't sea grass, but I do like it, what do you think? I found it through Lowes, : ), but also found it for less elsewhere. I like that it comes in 11 x15. The background is described as a gray blue, heading towards baby blue. I just started a new thread on it, so we can let this thread fade away.

Here's the new arrangement (picture isn't hung yet):

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever find a sisal or jute look alike rug that looks beautiful and is soft on the feet?

wondering the same thing

Me too!
