Quality
At approximately 82 KPSI (knots per square inch), the weaving achieves crisp motif definition without sacrificing a supple, long-wearing handle. Ghazni wool—prized for its naturally long fibers and gentle sheen—creates a dense, resilient pile that ages beautifully and resists everyday wear. The cotton foundation stabilizes the structure, supporting true edges and lasting form, while the hand-knotted build ensures longevity that outperforms machine-made alternatives.
