Broad horizontal bands of beige and tan fade softly into one another, giving this abstract rug a heathered, tonal look across a uniform cut-pile surface. The medium 0.75-inch wool pile feels dense and cushioned underfoot. Hand-tufted over approximately 4 months, each rug carries slight variations that make it one-of-a-kind. A rug pad is recommended for added cushion and floor protection. Light shedding is normal for new wool; vacuum without a beater bar.
