About this rug

Blossom on dark twigs laid in rows on the sand, counted. Khamsa is five in Arabic, and this checkered Berber rug is counted too: square tufts in rows, a dash between each pair. Weavers once counted it out from memory. Zarbish knots it now.

The dashes between the squares are tied flat and tight in the deepest wool, so they read as stitches holding the grid together. The ground is a light open wool, and it shows more of the pile's direction than the squares do.
