Moira Green/Aubergine Wool Rug - 6'2'' x 9'2''

A diamond trellis of slender branches covers a gold-green field inside a dark aubergine floral border. The small repeat reads as texture from a distance and as pattern up close. This transitional 6x9 area rug comes in green and aubergine.

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 green field and the aubergine border, with purple and gold 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 green field here, and it happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. The trellis is knotted by eye, so each repeat is very slightly different from the next. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 6x9 rug 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 green field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The cool green and aubergine palette, with touches of purple and gold, suits coastal, Scandinavian, and contemporary rooms, where it reads as a calm accent. The small-scale pattern layers well with bolder fabrics and prints.
