Hand loomed from a wool and jute blend with a cotton foundation, this textured grid rug is constructed using a loop and cut pile technique. The color is a warm tan with ivory running through it, and it is worth being clear that this reads as a mid-toned earthy neutral in person rather than a light or near-white tone as computer/phone screens tend to make it cooler and lighter than it actually is. The wool and jute combination gives the pile a natural, slightly coarse character that is firmer underfoot than a pure wool rug, which also means it holds its structure well over time and under regular foot traffic. There is no dye lot uniformity to contend with and no pattern to align, which makes it one of the more practical handmade rugs to live with day to day.
