Chic Ziegler Leigha Blue/Ivory Wool Rug - 8'0'' x 10'5''

Rings of ivory ripple outward from an off-center point across a deep blue ground. No part of the pattern repeats, so it reads a little differently from every side of the room. It is a chic modern 8x10 area rug in blue and ivory.

This handmade wool rug is one of a kind, hand knotted from a blend of hand-spun local wool and fine merino wool and colored with natural vegetable dyes extracted from local plants. Those dyes create an abrash, a soft shift in shade within a single color. Hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch, so the variation is normal and is one of the signs of a true handmade rug. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen and a comfortable feel underfoot.

Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The cool blue and ivory palette, with touches of charcoal and black, suits coastal, Scandinavian, and contemporary rooms, where it reads as a calm accent. The painterly design sits well with contemporary art and maximalist layers.
