Can't advise on the rug specifics, but if you're looking for this type of covering I'd also suggest you check out what's available at www.naturalarearugs.com I've ordered several rugs and been very pleased with the quality-free shipping is included as well. I just jumped online and compared one of their wool/jute rugs with Pottery Barn. Prices for every size are better, in some sizes by hundreds of dollars(!). Link below for your information. Good luck, I think the jute rugs are a great choice--just ordered one for my living room and love it. Much softer than I expected. In fact our cats spend a nontrivial time on it, just lounging about. It's hilarious to watch. Here is a link that might be useful: Wool/Jute Rugs from Natural Area Rugs

We have the Sunbrella Performance Chenille in Cloud on the curved Buchanan sectional. It is 3 years old. Daily use from 2 adults, 3 big fluffy dogs, and 2 cats. Lots of use from visiting family with children and elderly adults. Stains come up with Woolite/water mix. It does get dirty over time. I risked it and took off all the covers and machine washed them with Woolite. I dried on air only. They came out great. I have done this twice. We have a front load LG with a delicate cycle and option for tap water cold. We have well water.

As others have asked, would love an update on this fabric as well. although its not performance rated, we also found the swatch cleaned well and seemd durable, plus it has a high rub count and is contract grade. just worried about pilling

We actually saw a new fabric this weekend….performance midland tweed in stone i ordered a yard of it ….its such a big investment that i figured $40 for a larger sample was worth it. It is no as soft as the heathered basket weave but i really like the colors in the tweed.
