The linear pattern is offered in eight incredible colorations, one more beautiful than the next. Each is hand-loomed of 100% wool and is just the right piece to bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary home décor.  828’s Latitude Collection is available in sizes of 2 x 3, 4 x 6, 5 x 8, 8 x 10, and 9 x 12.
