Navy and Cream Loop Rug – Hand Knotted Wool Squiggle Line Moroccan Shag, Beni Mrirt

A navy and cream loop rug, hand-knotted in thick Beni Mrirt wool. Three bold hand-drawn navy lines run the length of a plush field of undyed ivory, each one curling into a loop about every 18 in, like a loosely stretched coil or a row of joined cursive letters. Every loop turns the same way and keeps an open ivory eye, and the lines, about 2.5 in wide, have soft, slightly irregular edges, as knotted by hand.

It brings a light, playful rhythm to a calm room, and it reads well from every side of a table or bed. It suits a living room, bedroom, dining room or study, and it is also woven with espresso brown lines.
