Yes, I also really love wool rugs as they not only beautify your home but also keeps you warm in certain time of the year. Wool rugs are great in any homes. They need to be well taken care off to last for years though. Wool rugs are great in a sense that they can provide a better place for you to stay. ;)

Thanks for pointing out the hypo-allergenic qualities of wool. We've discovered that wool rugs (especially natural sheepskin long-wool) are beneficial for sensory processing disorder therapy. Because they are also hypo-allergenic, it's a "win-win" deal!
