Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Where it fits

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.
