Linon Flokati Solid Print Modern Area Rug, Black

Great color. Quality, like Greek original

This rug is really heavy, which is good. It has a knit, sweater-like backing which I'm uncertain about,since it seems more delicate than a regular rug backing. You'll definitely need a felt rug pad or this will slide all over the place (think sweater ont he floor). I'm also really not sure how to fluff this rug since it's really heavy and I can't lift it to shake it out properly. Instead, I roll my hands through it to get the strands to stand up because they get tamped down easily. It's a lot of work to keep it looking nice that way. I wish there was a comb or brush they included that would be good for it, because rubbing my hands all over the wool isn't my favorite thing to do, and I'm not sure what tool to use to care for it. If I had to do it over, I'd probably go for the regular weight instead of the really heavy one. On the really bright side, though, it's perfect for getting cozy on the floor in front of our fireplace and we all really like the way it feels underfoot.
