Quality
The pile is Welayati Kurk wool, selected for its fine fiber and soft, resilient surface—ideal for the sharp angles and repeats of a geometric layout. At 100 knots per square inch, the weave supports precise outlines and even wear, while the cotton foundation keeps the runner true and stable along its length. The result is a runner that feels substantial underfoot and maintains pattern integrity over time.
Origin & Craftsmanship

Each knot contributes to the measured cadence of navy and red, a disciplined composition that speaks to workshop skill and regional lineage.
