Indigo Blue 3x10 Shekarlou Runner

Gabbeh rugs have their origins in the nomadic world of Persian herders. Made using hand-spun wool and dyes produced from natural plant and vegetable sources, our authentic Gabbeh rugs are among the most holistic choices for living spaces. Prized for their uniqueness and durable quality as working textiles, each Gabbeh is a one of a kind glimpse into a world unto itself. We have the finest selection of Gabbeh rugs in the Pacific Northwest.

Our selection of runners is the perfect place to find something for that hallway, entry, or narrow space needing a little bit of color, noise reduction, or even just comfortable traction for aging pets.

Shekarlou type Gabbeh rugs often feature high knot counts and patterns of a rectangle with alternating colors within and implying a border, or a gradient of color within the ombre. This subset of the Greater Qashqaii tribal group originate from the Fars Province in Southwest Persia. These rugs are said to be made with the idea of capturing an emotion or feeling as opposed to the more literal landscape style Kashkuli and traditional Luri rugs

The blue used in these rugs is made using the leaves of the indigo plant. These leaves are boiled and fermented to result in a rich blue dye that when combined with the lanolin rich hand-spun wool results in an incredible feel and sheen.
