Absolutely beautiful!!  I am an architect of the modern persuasion with discerning tastes.   I ordered the 8x11 size and was a little afraid the color would be overwhelming in such a large block, but it is gorgeous!  It's a dark teal - very lovely - and has a very soft texture.  It has variation in the color, too - sort of striated - so it's not a solid block of color and also hides a lot.  Just put it down, so can't say anything about the durability yet, but you can't go wrong with 100% wool.  If you're on the fence, pull the trigger on this one!
