Hi, This is a natural process of wool rugs shedding loose fibers from the weaving process. It will not hurt your rug just may be a little annoying but the great qualities of wool will make up for that. You may have to vacuum more often 2 or 3 times a week for a year or less until the shedding stops. I would not use hairspray on the rug. If the rug is a longer pile like a flokati rug you can rake it with a garden rake (preferable wood or plastic) or uses a wide tooth brush or pet brush to brush it. Hope this helps and hang in there with the shedding!

That’s natural for a good wool rug. Don’t use hair spray on it. That will just make it get dirty faster. Use the vacuum on it every day or every other day. After a couple weeks, the shedding should let up.

Let me know when you find a solutions, because I have one too.
Just don’t walk on it. It will not shed if nobody touch it. It is good for looking, not practical. And you can’t use vaccum on it, got take it outside to beat it.
