This Lori hand-knotted in India denotes a finer variant of Gabbeh rug. They are usually characterized by color-intensive geometric patterns as well as monochrome designs. Lori rugs are mainly within a color spectrum that includes cream, brown, yellow, and gray tones. Less commonly there are also red or blue.
Depending on the viewing angle one notices distinct light- and dark-shading of the pile yarn. The reason is that the pile yarn runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, which makes the colors shimmer lightly and makes the rug resistant to soiling.
