Large soft red blossoms and curling leaves stand out on a black field inside a matching border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. This eclectic transitional 6x9 area rug comes in black and red.
This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool rug 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 black field and the red border, with tan and green 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 black field here, and it happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. The curves of the flowers and vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines sharp. Once the 6x9 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a 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. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.
Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. In black and red, with touches of tan and green, this rug makes a strong base for a modern, moody interior, and it works with mid-century modern and eclectic pieces. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
