Product Insights
The Momeni Fletcher Wool Rug is a hand-tufted 100% wool rug ($739 CAD) with a 0.6-inch pile that balances plush comfort and practicality, working under dining chairs and vacuuming easily. Its muted tone-on-tone green color scheme appears more subdued and the pattern softer in person, offering a sophisticated look. Wool construction resists flattening, repels stains, holds color over years, and provides fire safety and allergen trapping. The main tradeoff: significant initial shedding that subsides after 3–6 months, leaving a denser pile, and the green color is more muted than expected.
Verified claims
- Color scheme
- Muted tone-on-tone greens in person for a sophisticated look.
- Pile height
- 0.6-inch pile height works under dining chairs and vacuums easily.

- Maintenance
- 0.6-inch pile is plush yet practical; initial shedding subsides in 3–6 months.
- Value

- Eco-Friendliness
- Wool is a renewable, biodegradable fiber with a low carbon footprint.
- Shape recovery
- Wool's 35% elastic recovery and 0.6″ pile resist flattening from furniture and vacuuming.

Personal experience with Momeni rugs: shedding but overall positive
I really like Momeni rugs—I’ve used them for years. They are not a Target specific brand. The brand is offered at many US retailers. The Momeni rugs I have do shed especially at first. The shedding does slow time with time.

Momeni rug quality praised as superior to synthetic after purchase
For what it's worth, I bought the rug for $100. It was clearly much higher quality than the $750 synthetic Wayfair rug we're replacing. I took it home & vacuumed it. It was both softer & actually seemed to give up dirt & dust better. The seller said it was under his pool table for 20 years. I'm guessing he's exaggerating a little but it's in great shape even if it's 10 years old. When you combine the price of the rug we're replacing (that didn't even last a year before getting pretty stained & gross looking), I guess I may still have gotten a bargain considering this rug at this size retails for over $1k.
