Modern Ziegler Drake Green/Rust Wool Rug - 8'1'' x 9'10''

Green squares and floral panels alternate in a checkerboard, with small rust blossoms in every other square. The geometric layout gives it a clean, graphic look. It is a modern 8x10 area rug in green and rust.

This handmade wool rug is one of a kind, hand knotted from a blend of hand-spun local wool and fine merino wool and colored with natural vegetable dyes extracted from local plants. Those dyes create an abrash, a soft shift in shade within a single color. Hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch, so the variation is normal and is one of the signs of a true handmade rug. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen and a comfortable feel underfoot.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The mix of green and rust, with touches of tan and beige, works in contemporary and mid-century modern rooms, and it ties warm wood tones to cooler upholstery. The checkerboard layout suits mid-century modern and modern farmhouse rooms.
