What is a hand-knotted wool rug?
A hand-knotted rug is built one knot at a time. An artisan ties short lengths of wool yarn around the warp threads of a loom, row after row, until the pattern emerges. There is no machine or backing involved, which is why a hand-knotted rug is flat on the back, reversible in pattern, and durable enough to last for generations.
Because the design is part of the weave itself rather than printed or tufted on top, colors stay crisp and the pile can be repaired knot by knot if it ever wears.
