Hand-Knotted Tibetan Khaden Rug | Indigo Quatrefoil Scatter

This rug provides a prime example of the technique of plying different colored strands of wool together to achieve a distinctive color change. The field consists of blue yarns plied with ivory wool, creating a watery, speckled effect.

The geometricized flowers appear to float, imparting a three-dimensional aspect to the surface.
