Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-woven. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Format and use

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

How it is made

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
