Lanell Tan/Gray Wool Rug - 6'2'' x 9'0''

A faint pattern of small blossoms sits on a tan field inside a soft gray floral border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. It is a transitional 6x9 area rug in tan and gray.

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 tan field and the gray border, with blue and beige 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 tan 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. 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 tan field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.

Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The soft tan and gray palette, with touches of blue and beige, is a natural fit for Scandinavian, Japandi, and minimalist rooms, where texture and quiet color do the work. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
