Penelope Braided Wool Area Rug (6' x 9')
Hand-braided farmhouse rug in 80% wool with a cotton binding. A natural-fiber alternative to polypropylene area rugs at a fraction of designer-wool prices.
Good to know: 80% wool with 20% cotton, on a latex-free backing. Amazon usually runs well below the brand-site price for the same size.
Why we picked it
A hand-braided rug in 80 percent wool with cotton binding, at a price that undercuts designer wool rugs by several times. Wool hides dirt and damps sound, and it takes a decade of foot traffic without matting. The braided construction means no backing at all, latex or otherwise. Amazon's price on the six-by-nine tends to run well under list.
