This oriental transitional 9x12 area rug comes 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 gray 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. Once the 9x12 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen. The finished pile is dense and even, soft to walk on, and resilient enough to recover from furniture and daily use. 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 red and blue, with touches of tan and gray, this rug suits eclectic, bohemian, and maximalist interiors, and it brings color to a neutral, modern room. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
