A faded pattern of large diamond shapes sits on a muted green-gray field. The bold medallions give the floor a strong, balanced rhythm. It is a chic transitional 8x10 area rug in green 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 green field and the gray border, with silver and blue 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 medallions are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines clean. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 8x10 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.
Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The cool green and gray palette, with touches of silver and blue, suits coastal, Scandinavian, and contemporary rooms, where it reads as a calm accent. The medallion design suits transitional rooms and symmetrical furniture layouts.
