wool/viscose blend rug

Hi, I’ve very interested in purchasing a particular rug but it is a wool/viscose blend (75% wool, 25% viscose). I know that viscose can be delicate, absorbs water (hard to dry), and the colors can bleed (why are they still making rugs with this material? 🙃) … do you think a wool/viscose blend, being primarily wool, will hold up? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your reply! Do you know if the percentage of viscose makes a difference? For example, I know that a 100% viscose rug will be the most vulnerable, but with this rug being only 25% viscose and 75% wool, do you think it’s considerably more durable?
