Description
Warm, plush, and quietly beautiful — the Balder Dust is a hand-tufted wool rug in heathered beige that anchors any room with effortless farmhouse charm.
A rectangular, solid-surface area rug in a warm heathered blend of beige, tan, and soft cream tones. The surface has a subtle, slightly uneven texture created by the hand-tufted wool construction — individual fibers catch light at slightly different angles, giving the rug visual depth despite having no distinct pattern. The pile is medium-plush and uniform across the entire surface. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is of a quiet, natural, undyed wool textile — warm and grounding, with a handmade quality visible in the slight variation of the surface texture.
- Hand-tufted wool construction — crafted in India with care
- Plush 0.39" pile with 0.87" total thickness for a luxurious feel
- Warm heathered beige palette suits virtually any decor
- Durable wool construction built for everyday use
- Canvas backing for stability — pair with a rug pad for best results
- Spot clean with mild detergent to maintain its natural beauty

Care & Cleaning
Follow these steps to keep your shag rugs looking their best:
- Use a wool-approved product in combination with spray extraction for cleaning.
- Note that shedding is a normal occurrence for shag rugs and will decrease over time. Avoid pulling the yarn out as it may cause rug damage.
- For effective cleaning, opt for canister vacuums without a beater bar. Vacuums that have beater bars and/or brushes, or those set too low, may potentially damage the rug's surface.
