Vacuum regularly with low suction to maintain pile and remove loose dirt. For spot cleaning, blot spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth β do not rub. For deeper cleaning, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent (no bleach). Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Do not iron. Rotate the rug every 6 months for even wear. A rug pad is recommended to prevent slipping and extend the life of the rug.

Erin Gates Orchard β Hand-Woven Natural Area Rug, 8' Γ 10'
The Orchard in natural is Erin Gates working in the material language of the botanical world: seagrass-derived fibers, hand-woven in a pattern that looks like it came from the same sketchbook as wallpaper designs from 1920s garden rooms. At 8' Γ 10', this rug anchors a living room without competing with it. The natural colorway β cream, straw, and pale linen tones β reads as a material rather than a color, which is why it works against virtually any wall paint, furniture fabric, or flooring.
Hand-woven construction means the surface has slight variation β tighter weave in some areas, softer in others β that catches light differently across the face of the rug. In an 8' Γ 10', you can see this from across the room, and it gives the rug a life that flat-woven machine-made rugs don't have.
What "Natural" Means for Color Matching
Natural works with: warm whites, aged linen, terracotta, sage green, warm grey, charcoal, navy, walnut, oak, rattan, cane, linen, and cotton. It is the rare rug color that works in every room of the house. The only palette it struggles with is one that's already extremely light β ivory on ivory can read as flat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Wool is a natural fiber that is hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and free of the synthetic chemicals found in many man-made rugs. It is naturally flame-resistant and does not off-gas VOCs. Wool rugs are a great choice for homes with pets and young children.
Some shedding is normal for new wool rugs β this is loose fiber from the manufacturing process, not a defect. Shedding typically stops after 4β6 weeks of regular vacuuming. Vacuum on a low suction setting without a beater bar to reduce shedding and preserve the pile.
Blot (do not rub) spills immediately with a clean white cloth. Mix a small amount of mild dish soap with cold water and gently dab the stain from the outside in. Rinse with cold water and blot dry. Avoid hot water, harsh chemicals, or steam cleaning as these can damage wool fibers.
The most common rule is to leave 18β24 inches of bare floor around the rug in a living room. For a seating area, all front legs of the furniture should sit on the rug. In a bedroom, an 8Γ10 or 9Γ12 rug typically works under a queen or king bed with enough coverage on the sides. Not sure? Email us at [email protected] and we will help you choose the right size.
Yes β a rug pad is strongly recommended for safety and longevity. A pad prevents the rug from slipping on hard floors, protects your floor from scratches, adds cushioning underfoot, and helps the rug lay flat. It also extends the life of the rug by reducing wear from friction. We recommend a non-slip felt or rubber pad cut 1 inch smaller than your rug on all sides.
We offer free 30-day returns on all orders. If you are not completely satisfied, contact us at [email protected] within 30 days of delivery to initiate a return. Items must be in original, unused condition. We will arrange free pickup and issue a full refund β no restocking fees, no hassle.
