Quality
Kurk wool—sought after for its fine fiber and natural sheen—gives this rug a supple hand and elevated luster. At approximately 133 knots per square inch, the weave is tight, producing sharp geometry and a smooth, durable surface engineered for real homes. The cotton foundation stabilizes the structure to lie flat and wear evenly, while the dense pile stands up beautifully to daily use and ages with graceful patina.
