The Avaley Rug has a pretty pattern of curling fronds and abstract florals in a Washed Rose hue, crafted using a traditional hand-knotting technique that originates from Persia. The wool is first sorted by hand and spun into yarn,then washed and dyed before skilled artisans embark on the knotting process. A designer draws out the design on paper so the weaver can determine the size and pattern of the rug and adjust their handloom accordingly. A maximum of three weavers work together on one handloom, carefully binding the vertical warps around the horizontal yarns from the bottom upwards until it is complete.
