Where to Find Jersey Shag Rugs

Jersey shag rugs add a lot of style and personality to a room.  Among the different types of shag rugs, jersey cotton rugs are one of the most popular because of their affordability. Another factor which lends to its popularity is that jersey shag rugs are quite durable and easy to clean. These rugs are made from the same material used for cotton jersey shirts which means they are machine washable.  An important thing to remember when choosing shag rugs is to check if they are colorfast. Rugs with darker colors do tend to fade and bleed out when washed. If you are not sure if your rugs are colorfast, it would be best to wash them separately to avoid staining.

You can find jersey shag rugs from a variety of places like home improvement stores, specialty home & garden boutiques, and furniture showrooms.  If you don’t quite know what shad rug to buy, showrooms are the place to go.
