Pale blossoms and leaves radiate across a dark green field inside a wide tan border of scrolling leaves. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. This classic traditional 9x9 round rug comes in dark green and tan.
Hand knotted and one of a kind, this wool round rug is made from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool, a blend of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The dark green of the field and the tan of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and pink and gray pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the dark green field, a soft shift in shade within a single color. It comes from hand-spun wool taking natural dye slightly differently from batch to batch, and it is one of the signs of a true handmade rug. The curves of the flowers and vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines sharp. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 9x9 round rug its natural sheen. What you get is a dense wool pile with a soft hand, low enough to sit neatly under chairs and doors and sturdy enough for busy rooms. Because the pile lies in one direction, the dark green field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.
It makes a good accent under a side table, a plant stand, or in a reading corner. The cool dark green and tan palette, with touches of pink and gray, suits coastal, Scandinavian, and contemporary rooms, where it reads as a calm accent. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
