It is a classic transitional 9x12 area rug in red and blue.

This handmade wool rug is one of a kind, hand knotted from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool in a mix of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The vegetable dyes, extracted from local plants, give the red field and the blue border their depth, with tan and gold used for the detail work. The red field may show an abrash, a gentle change of shade within one color. It is normal in handmade rugs, 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 9'2'' x 12'2''. The finished pile is dense and even, soft to walk on, and resilient enough to recover from furniture and daily use. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the red 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 mix of red and blue, with touches of tan and gold, works in contemporary and mid-century modern rooms, and it ties warm wood tones to cooler upholstery. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
