does this rug shed?

Hi there! The Soho Starbust is constructed of wool and viscose. Wool rugs, especially new wool rugs, may shed. To reduce excessive shedding, you can vacuum your rug 1-2 times per week in the direction of the pile. Shedding should diminish within several weeks. Synthetic rugs, like polypropylene rugs, shed less if you're looking for a rug with minimal shedding. Thank you for your question!
