Product Insights
Momeni's Contour Embossed Waves Handwoven Rug is an in-stock 598 CAD wool rug sold in 150x245, 185x275, and 240x305 cm sizes matching nominal 5x8, 6x9, and 8x10 footprints, with the advertised price buying the smallest size and the 185x275 step adding 38% more area for 150 CAD; its Hazelnut colorway is a warm brown-toned neutral, warmer and browner than true camel or greige. The wave motif is loom-imposed simple geometry embossed in high/low pile relief rather than printed color, so it reads most strongly under angled, raking, or side light. Nap runs one way, so the rug reads lighter from one end and darker from the other—shading, not fading—and pile orientation changes apparent shade, readable by hand; the end facing the room reads lighter, not worn. The 0.25-inch/0.5 cm dense wool pile is firm, crisp, springy, and warm underfoot rather than plush, letting dining chairs glide instead of catching. A 1/4-inch felt-and-natural-rubber pad is recommended to supply the cushion and grip this low pile lacks, with natural rubber backing preferred over PVC because it grips better without staining or sticking, extends the rug's working life by roughly 30–50%, and brings total height to about 1/2 inch, clearing standard interior doors. Contour is a multi-motif ASMR-movement collection including grid, geometric, and labyrinth designs, so the embossed texture can continue into another room in a matching motif.

It comes in three sizes (150x245 cm, 185x275 cm, 240x305 cm) and three colors (Indigo/Dark Blue, Burgundy, Ochre Yellow); note it is handmade in India, so slight imperfections are considered normal, and a rug pad is recommended for greater safety.[6,7,8] |

Positive experience with Momeni rugs but note 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.
