Soft orange blossoms and fine stems are spread across a pale green-gray field inside a beige border. It brings a soft, garden-like feel to the floor. It is an eclectic transitional 9x12 area rug in green and beige.
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 beige border, with red and golden rod 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 curves of the flowers and vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines sharp. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 9'0'' x 11'11''. 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 green tones shift slightly as you walk around the rug and as the light changes.
Use it as a large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. The green and beige tones, with touches of red and golden rod, work in contemporary, coastal, and mid-century modern interiors, and they pair easily with gray, white, and natural wood. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
