Even people with extensive rug knowledge will easily confuse this innovative power-loomed rug for an authentic hand-knotted piece. This exclusive hybrid rug is as close as you can get to a 100% hand-knotted rug at a fraction of the cost. Power loomed at our plant in India using New Zealand wool accented with a shimmering fiber of Tencel, nylon, and wool blend, each piece is then shipped to our handmade facility where it is hand washed, hand-stretched, hand sheared, and hand serged. To complete the authentic look of a hand-knotted rug, this rug features real fringe trimmed to a short ¼” created from the warp/weft strings.
