Hand-knotted on a single loom — never machine-finishedMade to order · weaving begins on confirmationWorldwide insured shipping · 60-night home trial

Description

Broken white horizontal dashes run in dense parallel rows across a warm sand-beige ground, their edges ragged and interrupted. Occasional cool slate-blue marks surface within the white striations, keeping the surface from reading as a single-tone field. The hi-low construction raises the white dash rows above the beige ground, giving the pattern a tactile relief that reads clearly in close-up.

A note on the dye

Madder root, soaked five days, simmered three.

The red you see in the field is not one red. It is seven dye lots, each pulled at a slightly different hour from the same copper vat,the variation lives only in the wool, never in the recipe.

A rug is sized to read once, in full, as you walk past it. The longer sizes tell a different story across a whole room.

Asked & answered

Questions you'd want to ask.

Plain answers about the wool, the loom, and what the rug does over years of use.

Strake · the asked & answered

Does the hi-low construction hold its surface relief over years of regular foot traffic?

The raised and recessed areas in a hi-low construction are determined by pile height differences built into the knotting, not by surface treatment. The relief remains stable under normal foot traffic. Rotating annually and avoiding prolonged furniture compression in one area preserves the distinction between levels over time.

How does the neutral beige-and-white palette work in a room with dark leather furniture and concrete floors?

The warm sand-beige ground reads as a soft contrast against both concrete and dark leather, separating the seating group from the floor without competing with either. The 10x14 suits large loft-style rooms particularly well, where the rug needs to assert a field beneath a substantial furniture arrangement.

Is there a directional quality to the horizontal dash pattern that affects how the rug should be oriented?

Yes. The horizontal dash rows run parallel to the rug's long axis, so orienting that axis parallel to the primary sofa gives the pattern its most legible direction. Placing the rug perpendicular to the sofa reverses the striation logic and makes the surface read differently, which some rooms suit and others do not.
