A faded pattern of scattered leaves and blossoms sits on a soft gray field with tan detail. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. It is a boho chic transitional 12x18 area rug in gray and tan.
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 gray field and the tan border. 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 gray 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. Once the 12x18 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a 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. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.
Use it as a large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. In gray and tan this rug suits warm minimalist, modern organic, and coastal interiors, and it sits easily beside light wood and linen. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
