We've filtered this link to wool rugs (http://www.atgstores.com/wool-area-rugs_610.html?&option0=optionA=265450|18945~Valu), but you can further filter by price, color, design and many other factors. We're fans of homedecorators.com, but we do offer free shipping on a wider selection - about 10,000 more wool rugs, anyway, out of our total of 25,000+ area rugs. We've posted images of a few hand-woven wool rugs we thought you may like and hope this gives you more ideas. Good luck with your search!
