Indo Wool Animal Print Indoor Rug

The contemporary design of this particular rug originated in the mountainous areas of Tibet but is made in the Varanasi region of India, by the Bhadohi village weavers. The wool of these rugs is provided by the local villagers. Tibetan rugs are mostly geometric and modern patterns with bold colors. The knot count per square inch for this rug is 150. This rug is made of 100% wool. The weaving technique is hand-tufted, which is a rug-making process where weavers insert yarn into the rug backing with a handheld tufting gun to push and pull the threads through a pre-woven grid foundation. In a tufted rug, the tops of the loops are sheared to expose the ends of the threads for a softer, plusher pile.
