Quality
Woven at approximately 82 KPSI, this rug balances precision and longevity—dense enough for clear motifs, resilient enough for everyday living. The hand-spun Ghazni wool—renowned for its long staple and natural lanolin—yields a supple, light-reflective pile that softens footfall and ages beautifully. A cotton warp and weft stabilize the structure, helping the rug lie flat and maintain its silhouette over time.
