Product Insights
Momeni's Contour Embossed Waves Handwoven Rug offers a durable, high-traffic flatweave inspired by the ASMR design movement, crafted from 100% wool by hand in India using centuries-old techniques that create unique pattern variations and initial shedding—normal for handwoven wool—which stabilizes after a few vacuumings; the rug’s longevity comes from its glue-free construction, but to preserve the embossed wave pattern, it requires suction-only vacuuming and a rug pad for safety.

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.
