At the scale visible in the images, an 8x10 carries approximately three to four full repeats across the width and five to six down the length. The 9x12 adds another half-repeat in each direction, giving the pattern more room to read as a field rather than a motif arrangement. Both sizes work well; the 9x12 is preferable where the full seating group sits on the rug.

The blended fibre ground combines steel-blue and slate-grey fibres that read as a cool blue-grey overall. The charcoal reference in the code describes the darker fibre component. In warm incandescent light the slate reads more prominently; in natural daylight the blue-grey is more apparent. The overall impression is a cool mid-toned ground rather than a dark charcoal.

The soft edge is a direct result of the blended fibre construction and the horizontal line technique used to build each form. It is a deliberate surface quality, not deterioration. In rooms with other materials that carry similar soft transitions, aged timber, fine plaster, washed linen, the edge quality reads as belonging rather than as a defect.
