Hand tufted of 100% wool. Yarn dyed for long, lasting color. Luster washed for rich, mellow color and a silky feel. Backing is made of recycled fabric with odorless synthetic latex adhesive. The synthetic latex provides a more durable and flexible backing that reduces odor and extends the rug’s life; it does not present a risk to those with latex allergies, nor does it dry out or break down over time.
