The Anji Mountain Bamboo Shag rug is the last thing you would expect from a bamboo rug: it's soft. It's actually softer and silkier than traditional shag rugs made from wool or synthetic fibers. The uniquely luxuriant look and feel of this rug is due to a custom specified bamboo yarn blend with an exceptionally high quotient of bamboo fiber-80% bamboo and 20% cotton. And good news for allergy sufferers: bamboo yarn is naturally hypo-allergenic and has minimal shedding. Furthermore, we use only non-toxic, Azo free dyes to produce these brilliant colors. The original Bamboo Shag rug is brought to you exclusively by Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co.
