Construction

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

On the knot count

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.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
