Wool Geometric Indoor Rug

This beautiful contemporary rug was created in the Varanasi region of India, in the Bhadohi village. All washing, spinning, and dyeing of the wool are done by the villagers in this area. 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.
