Quality
Welayati hand-spun wool is prized for its long staple and natural lanolin, delivering a soft hand with impressive resilience. At approximately 100 knots per square inch, the weave captures fine details while ensuring long-term durability under everyday use. The cotton foundation stabilizes the structure, while careful hand-shearing gives the pile a tailored, elegant finish that ages beautifully.
