The craft
Knot by knot
Machine-made rugs are built for consistency. Handmade rugs are built for character. Small variations in tone and weave are the signature of a real hand at a real loom. They are part of what makes the piece yours. Row after row is packed tight by hand, so the pile stands dense and springs back instead of flattening.
