The yarn list runs to three — wool, cotton and synthetic — and the house sets down all three instead of rounding the description up to pure wool, which is the more common commercial habit. A rug of this kind is at its best in a room with mixed furniture and a long history of small additions; in a newly finished interior where everything arrived in the same month it can look like the only object with a past, which is either exactly right or exactly wrong.
