Kneel down and look closely. Warp and weft give the yellow wool a fine, regular structure, and the pure wool puts it in our wool rugs. A square suits a square dining table or a square room, and in a living room it sits well among our living room rugs. Handmade sizes can vary slightly, which the size guide helps you plan for.
