A honeycomb trellis filled with pale flower sprays covers a blue field inside a tan key-pattern border. The regular repeat gives the rug a tailored, orderly feel. It is a classic transitional 6x9 area rug in blue and tan.
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 blue field and the tan border, with brown 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 blue 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 trellis even across the whole field. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 5'10'' x 9'2''. The result is a dense, even wool pile that feels soft underfoot, springs back under furniture, and stands up to everyday foot traffic. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the blue tones shift slightly as you walk around the rug and as the light changes.
Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The blue and tan tones, with a touch of brown, work in contemporary, coastal, and mid-century modern interiors, and they pair easily with gray, white, and natural wood. The fine lattice reads as tailored, which suits transitional and classic-modern rooms.
