Ziegler Celina Pink/Tan Wool Runner - 3'3'' x 18'3''

Large curling leaves and palmettes run down a soft pink-red field inside a tan floral border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. It is a transitional 3x18 runner rug in pink and tan.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool runner is hand knotted from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool, a blend of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The vegetable dyes, extracted from local plants, color the pink field and the tan border, with gold and ivory in the details. Look for the abrash, a gentle shift in shade within a single color. It tends to show most in larger areas of one color, such as the pink field here, and it happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. Fine hand knotting keeps the small blossoms and curving vines crisp. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 3x18 runner its natural sheen. The result is a dense, even wool pile that feels soft underfoot, springs back under furniture, and stands up to everyday foot traffic. Because the pile lies in one direction, the pink field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.

Use it as a hallway runner, an entryway runner, or a kitchen runner. The warm pink and tan palette, with touches of gold and ivory, brings a boho chic, eclectic feel to a room and pairs well with leather, walnut, and brass. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
