Boho Chic Ziegler Alex Gray/Blue Wool Rug - 8'0'' x 8'6''

A dense pattern of red and pale blossoms covers a gray-blue field inside a red-toned border. It brings a soft, garden-like feel to the floor. It is a boho chic transitional 8x8 area rug in gray and blue.

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 blue border, with gray slate and rust 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 gray field here, and it happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. Fine hand knotting keeps the small blossoms and curving vines crisp. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 8'0'' x 8'6''. The result is a dense, even wool pile that feels soft underfoot, springs back under furniture, and stands up to everyday foot traffic. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the gray tones shift slightly as you walk around the rug and as the light changes.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The calm gray and blue tones, with touches of gray slate and rust, work in Scandinavian and modern farmhouse rooms, and give a quiet-luxury feel under neutral upholstery. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
