Marmot Black 6'1 x 9' Rug

Natural wool is a highly resilient and family-friendly material. The fibers possess a natural elasticity that helps them bounce back after being stepped on, while the abstract pattern and sophisticated black-and-ivory color palette are excellent at disguising pet hair and minor everyday messes. For households with pets, the low pile also reduces the likelihood of claws snagging the weave.

Hand-knotted rugs are considered the gold standard for longevity. Because each of the 200 knots per square inch is tied individually by hand, the rug is exceptionally durable and less prone to unraveling than tufted or machine-woven options. This meticulous craftsmanship ensures the rug can serve as a long-term investment that maintains its detail and "royal" aesthetic for years.

While wool is a breathable and durable natural fiber, it is also absorbent. In particularly humid or coastal environments, we recommend using this rug in climate-controlled indoor spaces to prevent the fibers from retaining excess moisture. For best results, ensure the rug is placed on a dry subfloor and that any spills are dried thoroughly to maintain the health and freshness of the natural wool.

Yes, this low-pile rug is specifically engineered for high-traffic environments. The quality of a rug is often determined by its density; with 200 knots per square inch, this hand-knotted construction creates a tightly packed surface that resists matting and structural wear far better than lower-density or machine-made alternatives.

To preserve the integrity of the 100% natural wool fibers, our care guide recommends vacuuming the rug regularly without a beater bar to prevent shedding. For accidental spills, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth and a mixture of mild detergent and cool water. Avoiding harsh chemicals will ensure the hand-knotted detail and natural oils of the wool remain intact.

A 6'1" x 9' rug is a versatile choice for several layouts. In a bedroom, it is the ideal size to place under the lower two-thirds of a queen bed, providing coverage on both sides of the mattress. For living rooms, it effectively anchors a standard seating area, grounding a coffee table and the front legs of a sofa to create a cohesive and defined space.
