Hand Knotted Wool & Cotton Area Rug – Natural or Navy, 8x10 to 10x14

Hand knotted, in wool on a cotton foundation, offered in Natural and in Navy. Three sizes, all large: 8' x 10', 9' x 12' and 10' x 14'. Hand knotting is the slowest way to make a rug and the only one where each tuft of pile is tied individually to the foundation threads rather than glued or stitched onto a backing.

That construction is why a hand knotted rug behaves the way it does. The pile is anchored by the knot itself, so there is no adhesive layer to break down and no separate backing to delaminate after a decade. The cotton foundation gives the rug a flexible base that lets it lie flat and be rolled without cracking, while the wool pile takes the wear. A rug built this way wears down rather than falling apart.

At these sizes it goes under a full seating group or a dining table. Navy carries a room where the walls are pale; Natural does the opposite, warming a floor without adding another color to the space.
