What it is made of

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

Fineness of the knotting

How it reads

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