Construction

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
