Product Insights
The Momeni Abbott Zigzag Stripes Pure Wool Rug, designed by Erin Gates, offers premium wool quality rivaling pricier options and unique color pairings from interior design work. Its lanolin coating resists stains and releases dirt easily, but requires specific care: suction-only vacuuming, a 1/8-1/4 natural felt pad with rubber backing, and cold-water washing to manage heavy initial shedding and protect the latex backing. The backing's degradation limits lifespan to 20-25 years, a tradeoff for its durability and design authenticity at $879 CAD.
Verified claims
- Shedding
- Initial shedding is common and usually diminishes within 4–6 weeks; gentle vacuuming without a beater bar several times a week helps manage it.
- Care
- Core care includes suction-only vacuuming, a felt-and-rubber rug pad, periodic professional cold-water washing, and blotting spills promptly with cold water.
- Lifespan
- Latex backing degrades over time, limiting lifespan to 20–25 years.
- Pad specification
- 1/8–1/4 natural felt pad with non-slip rubber backing is recommended for this low-pile wool rug.
- Backing protection
- A rug pad protects the latex backing from foot-traffic abrasion that gradually degrades tufted rugs.
- Vacuuming method
- Suction-only vacuuming is required to avoid pulling fibers; a rug pad prevents slipping during cleaning.
- Moth prevention routine
- Weekly vacuuming (suction-only) both sides, quarterly inspections, and professional cold-water washing every 12-18 months prevent moth damage.
- Rug pad
- A felt-and-rubber rug pad helps prevent slipping and protects the latex backing from foot-traffic abrasion.
- Designer collaboration
- Erin Gates designed the Abbott Collection, and its color palette was informed by her own interior design projects.
- Value
- At $879 CAD, this wool rug outlasts and outperforms synthetic alternatives with proper care.
- Cleanability
- Wool's natural lanolin coating repels liquid for roughly 30–60 seconds, so blotting immediately with cold water can remove most fresh stains.
- Design uniqueness
- The Abbott Collection features unexpected color pairings tested in Erin Gates's interior design projects.
- Pile height
- The rug has a 0.5-inch pile height, which is considered low pile.
- Rotation
- Rotate the rug 180° every six months, and more often in heavy-traffic rooms, to prevent permanent high-traffic stripes and uneven sun fading.
- Cleaning products to avoid
- Avoid bleach, ammonia, standard carpet shampoos, enzyme-based stain removers, and spray-on carpet cleaners, which can strip lanolin, dull dyes, or damage wool fibers.
- Professional cleaning frequency
- A professional cold-water immersion wash every 18–24 months with pH-neutral wool soap removes embedded soil and organic debris that attract moths and abrade fibers.
- Construction
- This is a hand-tufted pure wool rug.
- Pattern
- The rug features a zigzag stripe pattern from Erin Gates's Abbott Collection.

Positive experience with Momeni rugs despite initial shedding
I really like Momeni rugs—I’ve used them for years. They are not a Target specific brand. The brand is offered at many US retailers. The Momeni rugs I have do shed especially at first. The shedding does slow time with time.

Momeni rug found to be high quality and a bargain
For what it's worth, I bought the rug for $100. It was clearly much higher quality than the $750 synthetic Wayfair rug we're replacing. I took it home & vacuumed it. It was both softer & actually seemed to give up dirt & dust better. The seller said it was under his pool table for 20 years. I'm guessing he's exaggerating a little but it's in great shape even if it's 10 years old.
