Product Insights
The Heathered Green Artisanal Rug by Mark Krebs is a handloom-designed heirloom for multi-generational durability, handwoven in Uttar Pradesh from interlaced green and blue wool on a cotton warp. Independent weavers own their looms and earn a published per-square-foot rate, though the brand is not fair-trade certified. Natural variation and initial shedding are inherent; regular vacuuming and professional dry-cleaning are recommended. The dense flatweave resists fading and suits medium traffic, requiring a thin non-slip pad.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Heathered Green Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a handwoven, artisanal area rug with a heathered look: green and blue wool threads form a speckled pattern over a low-profile, flatwoven surface with a nubby texture, braided and tassel fringe, and bound edges. It is made of 80% New Zealand wool and 20% cotton, handmade in Uttar Pradesh, India, and comes in four sizes from 140 by 205 cm up to 275 by 365 cm in Pine/Bottle Green. Expect slight imperfections and color/pattern variation between rugs of the same design—described by the brand's sources as normal charm from natural fibres—and a rug pad is recommended for greater safety.[1,2,3,4,5] | Sandy Speckled Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a large, handwoven wool rug (80% wool, 20% cotton) with a warm sandy-beige, speckled look and braided fringes at the ends; the merchant describes its low, looped pile as feeling really soft underfoot, and it comes in a 245 by 305 cm Ivory/Cream Beige variant with other sizes also available. Since it is made by artisans in Northern India using artisanal methods, slight imperfections are normal and presented as part of its charm, and a rug pad is recommended for greater safety.[6,7,8] | Pearl Grey Bouclé Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a plush, natural-fibre rug underfoot: its loose hand-loomed flatweave pairs a generous bouclé looped texture with 80% New Zealand wool and 20% undyed cotton in a light pearl grey to cream tone, and it comes in four sizes from an 80 by 396 cm runner up to 274 by 366 cm. As an artisanal handmade piece, slight imperfections are normal and part of its character, and the seller recommends adding a rug pad for greater safety.[9,10,11,12] |
