Red Geometric Handwoven Naturally Dyed Wool Rug, Nadide Series

The yarn came from somewhere else first. This Nadide-series rug is handwoven in Türkiye from unraveled wool, colored with root dyes, and drawn in blocks of geometry across 230 × 248 cm (7'7" × 8'2") in red and blue.

01Which tone on the ground

Only one was made, because only one could be. The geometry is large and squared off, red carrying most of the field and blue set against it in bands and blocks. Root-dyed wool never gives a flat color — plant dye takes differently on yarn that has already been spun once and pulled apart again — so the red arrives in several values and the blue moves between something near indigo and something much lighter.

02The Wool on the surface

Those variations are what the trade calls abrash, and here nobody tried to avoid them. Söküntü yarn, meaning wool unraveled from finished weaving and spun back into usable thread, is the reason this exists as a single piece: the supply of any one color ends when it ends.

03Knot by knot, by hand

It was woven by hand in Türkiye and colored with plant roots rather than synthetic dyestuff, which is a fact about the color and not a claim about anything else. The tones will move slowly over years of daylight. That is what plant dye does, and most people who buy these consider it an improvement rather than a fault. What is söküntü yarn? It is wool unraveled from finished weaving and spun back into thread that can be knotted again.

04Color that shifts through the day

Because the supply of any single color is limited to whatever was pulled apart, a rug built from it cannot be reproduced a second time. What are root dyes? Root dyes are colors drawn from plants — madder for reds, indigo for blues — rather than from synthetic dyestuff. They take unevenly, which is why a root-dyed rug shows several values of the same color across a single surface. Handwoven in Türkiye; one piece only, and not repeatable. Woven from söküntü yarn — wool unraveled from earlier weaving and respun. Colored with root dyes, which yield several values of each color rather than one flat tone. Large squared geometry in red and blue. 230 × 248 cm (7'7" × 8'2"), close to square, which suits a room arranged around a center. Root-dyed wool shifts tone slowly in daylight. Professional washing. A rug that could not be made twice ends up in the middle of a room rather than at the edge of one.
