One-of-a-Kind 3'2" X 13'11" New Age Runner Wool Area Rug in

Oushak rugs are the most popular and one of the oldest traditional rugs. Oushak (Usak) rugs use a particular family of designs, called by the convention after the city of Ushak, Turkey. Oushak rugs are known for the silky, luminous wool they work with. The dyes tend towards cinnamon, terracotta tints, gold, blues, greens, ivory, saffron, and grays. The soft wool is obtained from the chest of a lamb where it's softer because of the minimal sun exposure. The fairly larger knots used in this type of rug enable larger patterns on the rug which is a designer's delight. Most of the dyes are obtained from natural vegetables because of the lighter colors used in these rugs.
