Boho Ziegler Abbey Rust/Blue Wool Rug - 5'11'' x 9'2''

Rows of ivory and blue square panels, each holding a stepped star, line up across a rust-red field inside a wide rust border. Every panel holds a different motif, so there is always something new to notice. It is a 6x9 geometric area rug in rust and blue.

Hand knotted and one of a kind, this rug is made from hand-spun wool colored with natural vegetable dyes extracted from local plants. The wool is a blend of merino, New Zealand and Ghazni wool, which gives the pile a high lanolin content and a long staple, so it feels soft and wears well. You may notice an abrash in the rust field, a gentle shift in shade within a single color that comes from hand-spun wool taking the natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. It shows most against the blue border, with light blue and tan in the details. Each panel is knotted with its own small motif, so the border and the grid have to line up exactly, which takes careful counting by the weaver. The rug is tied with a double knot. Once the knotting is done, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which brings out a natural sheen and softens the colors. Underfoot it feels soft and dense, and it holds up well in busy rooms.

It works well in a living room seating area, a bedroom, a dining nook, or a home office. The warm rust and blue palette suits bohemian, rustic, and Southwestern rooms, and it pairs well with leather, wood, and woven textures. Inspired by antique tribal rugs, the design adds a timeless, collected feel to any decor.
