Wool carpet can shed because it is a natural fibre: surface scales and loose fibres can be released after manufacture or initial disturbance. Shedding is usually most noticeable in the first weeks and may continue for several months depending on fibre quality and construction. Regular vacuuming will remove loose fibres and improve appearance; follow manufacturer care instructions for cleaning. For spills, blot promptly with a clean white cloth and do not rub. For valuable or woven wool carpets, seek professional advice from BCC. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed.
