Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
