The piece in short

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.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under multicolour. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
