Quality
Hand-knotted at approximately 82 KPSI (knots per square inch), this piece achieves crisp linework while retaining the plush, resilient hand Ghazni wool is known for. The long-staple fibers carry natural sheen and excellent wear characteristics, allowing the pile to relax into a graceful patina with use. A cotton warp and weft provide structural stability for everyday living, while the low, even shear keeps the silhouette elegant and easy to place under furniture.
