The Science of the Ghiordes Knot: Why Hand-Knotted Wool Endures:

In an era of disposable decor, our Hand-Knotted Wool Rugs stand as a testament to sustainable permanence. Unlike machine-made alternatives that rely on toxic glues and synthetic backings, our rugs feature a zero-adhesive construction. This allows for natural airflow, preventing the trapped allergens common in 'Oushak-style' tufted imitations. By utilizing lanolin-rich highland wool and organic vegetable dyes, we achieve a high-luster finish that reflects light rather than absorbing it. Whether you are seeking a bespoke oversized rug for a grand living space or a high-traffic runner, the structural integrity of the symmetrical knot ensures your investment remains a heritage piece for decades to come.

FAQs

What is the difference between an authentic Oushak and an 'Oushak-style' rug?

An authentic Oushak is hand-knotted, meaning every fiber is tied to the foundation. 'Oushak-style' rugs are often tufted or machine-made, lacking the heirloom durability, luminous wool quality, and the "mirror-image" reverse side found in our collection.

Does the "Abrash" color variation mean the rug is defective?

Not at all. Abrash is the intentional, painterly shading found in hand-dyed artisan textiles. It occurs when different dye lots of hand-spun wool interact, creating a sophisticated depth that is the primary hallmark of a luxury hand-knotted rug.

Are hand-knotted rugs suitable for high-traffic "Modern Living" spaces?

Yes. Because each knot is independent, the rug can withstand heavy foot traffic and furniture weight without shedding or losing its shape. The natural lanolin in the wool also acts as a built-in stain protector against spills.

How do I identify a "Zero-Adhesive" rug construction?

You can identify it by the flexibility of the rug. Our hand-knotted pieces can be folded or rolled easily because they lack the stiff, glued canvas backing of cheap alternatives, making them safer for indoor air quality (no VOC off-gassing).

Can I order custom sizes in the Hand-Knotted Series?

Yes, we offer Artisan Scaling. Because these are made by hand, we can customize dimensions for oversized rooms, unique hallways, or specific layout requirements, maintaining the integrity of the original design motifs.
