Wool Rugs
Wool has been used by artisans for thousands of years to create everything from clothing to tapestries and decoration. It’s even said that wool was the first big business in medieval Europe; practically anyone who owned land raised sheep. Wool has a rich cultural history in many different people groups and countries, and a finely crafted wool rug is a perfect way to bring a classic, heritage motif to your space with elegant natural fiber material!
Whether you are looking for woven or braided rugs to serve as living room rugs, laundry rugs, or even your bedroom, Wool, although it can be affected by extreme moisture, does a good job at moisture-wicking, which makes wool a great material for kitchen rugs, too! Miss Amara has an amazing selection that is sure to match your tastes. If you’d like to try a rug in your home, risk-free, we promise 30-day returns for an easy, beneficial trial period. We’re taking the pressure and hassle out of buying rugs online so that you can feel totally secure and in love with your new wool area rug!

Here are some helpful tips on how to buy a wool rug online:
Think of Your Taste
Perhaps the best thing to do when looking over your choices is to consider how each option will express your personality. Are you laid-back and traditional? A braided wool rug, in a nice neutral color will be perfect for you. Are you someone who likes to make a bit of a statement? A patterned rug, such as our Moroccan rugs, might connect with you more. We have rugs that can fit modern, traditional, boho, and more interior design styles. No matter what your taste is, Miss Amara has a top-quality rug just for you!
Bigger is Better
This is a simple piece of advice that will help you greatly when looking at wool rugs. We offer a range of different sizes and shapes, from runners to large area rugs, some of them up to 13 feet wide! If you’re unsure of what size rug to buy, it helps to know that having a rug that’s too big looks much better than a rug that’s too small. A rug that’s too small looks obvious and exposes too much of the floor. So, if you are weighing your options between two different wool rug sizes, go with the bigger one to be safe!
We also offer no-obligation, free styling advice from our team of experts. Send us a picture of your space, along with some ideas you might have, and we will get back to you with a selection of wool rugs tailored especially and personally for you!

How Much Does Wool Rugs Cost?

Some vintage wool rugs can cost tens of thousands, and even brand new ones can sometimes cost as much as a car! However, at Miss Amara, we offer a range of wool rug options that can fit any budget, from the smallest to the biggest. That’s a huge bonus that you get from shopping for rugs online; we can lower costs dramatically because we don’t have the overhead costs that a physical store does. We pass the savings on to you, allowing you to buy an artisan-designed wool rug at an affordable price!
How to Take Care of Wool Rugs?
Always Use a Rug pad
Having a good rug pad to protect your wool rug from wear is an absolute must. It may be tempting to think that you do not need one, but trust that your rug will last much longer if it is laid over a rug pad. The reason behind this is that the pads give a bit of cushion between the rug and the hard floor surface, and also provide space for moisture and dust to filter through. Since moisture, dust, and friction can all damage rugs over time, a rug pad truly does save you the heartbreak of saying goodbye to a rug too soon!
On top of that, a rug pad also contributes to the soft, cozy feeling of a finely crafted wool rug. So, not only do they protect your rug, but they also make owning a rug a better experience!
Vacuum Safely (And Often)
While using a vacuum to remove dust and dirt from a shag or braided wool rug is an important part of maintenance, it should be noted that vacuums can sometimes cause the wool material to shed little fibers. Shedding is a natural part of the life of wool rugs, but we don’t want to cause additional shedding for no reason. Set your vacuum to gentle settings, for thick carpet, to ensure that it won’t rub too much against the wool and cause issues. For best results, it is recommended that you vacuum your rug every one to two weeks, depending on foot traffic!
Carefully Clean Stains
Spot cleaning stains is a great idea for the proper maintenance of your rug. Mix a bit of laundry detergent in water and gently dab it onto the rug with a cotton cloth. Removing stains in this way is both effective and gentle on the material.
