AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
➤Materials & Craftsmanship:
The "Waziri" rug is a hand-knotted wool rug with cotton warps and wefts. The rugs are hand-knotted using Ghazni wool, a variety of wool unique to Afghanistan known for its luxuriant finish as well as its unique way of absorbing colour which gives the rugs Abrash - the technical term used to describe the mottled effect given by each strand of wool's subtle variation of colour.
➤Weaving Quality & Durability
With 748,000 hand-tied knots, the rug features the Turkish (double) knot technique, making it denser, more durable, and longer-lasting than Persian rugs.
