Turquoise going warm on a red ground, every knot closed twice

On the surface: Wool. The shine of the rug, its weight and what its care asks all follow from that choice.
Authentic pattern. The ground and the motif are not parts of separate processes but of the same weave; the two advance together. The ground tone is red.
This rug is woven in Afghanistan. We write down where it comes from, because we want to be able to name the workshop when someone asks.
Cleaning method: Professional cleaning. What wears a rug down over the years is not a stain but the dust that settles at the base of the pile and grinds the fibers from inside with every step.
The nature of handwork: Every woven rug is made one at a time, so sizes and color tones can vary by up to 3%. Small irregularities where the yarns cross are not faults; they are the signature of the weave.
Turquoise going warm on a red ground, every knot closed twice
Eighty-six centimeters across and more than two and a half meters long — 86 × 261 cm (2'10" × 8'7") — a hand-knotted wool runner from the Şahzade series, with flowers worked over a red ground in gold, green, blue and turquoise.
Every knot in it was closed twice, and there is one of it. Sometimes the flowers open along fine stems and sometimes they arrive as large single forms, and that alternation is what stops a long narrow rug turning into a repeating strip.
Red carries all of it and does what red does in Anatolian weaving, which is make every other color warmer than it actually is — the turquoise in particular stops reading as cool and begins reading as fresh.
Along a corridor the pattern is met a section at a time, and this drawing suits that better than being seen all at once. Wool on the surface, cotton in the skeleton, with a trace of recycled synthetic yarn added for strength and named here rather than hidden behind the word wool.
Closing every knot twice is what the double knot means, and a piece this long took artisans months of steady work. Because everything was worked by hand, the drawing shifts a little between one end and the other.
Vacuum and wipe it for daily care and send it to a professional for a real wash. Hand-knotted with the double knot, in wool over a cotton skeleton. A trace of recycled synthetic yarn is used in the foundation for strength; the pile is wool. Red ground with floral drawing in gold, green, blue and turquoise. Flowers alternate between fine stemmed sprays and large single forms. 86 × 261 cm (2'10" × 8'7") — a corridor, an entrance, or a long narrow room. Months of work, and the drawing shifts slightly along the length because of it. Vacuum for daily care; professional washing for a deep clean. A runner is the one rug people walk the whole length of every day, which is the argument for putting the knots where the feet are.
The most common mistake in choosing a rug is buying too small. Here are the numbers, room by room:
At least the front legs of the sofas should sit on the rug. Leave 20–40 cm of floor showing around it.
Recommended: 200×290 · 240×340 · 300×380
It should extend 60–75 cm beyond every edge of the table, so chairs do not catch when pulled back.
Recommended: 200×290 · 250×250 · 240×340
Either cover the lower two-thirds of the bed, or choose a size that extends 60–90 cm on three sides.
Recommended: 170×240 · 200×290 · 240×340
Choose one 25–30 cm shorter than the hallway, leaving 10–15 cm of floor on each side.
Recommended: 80×290 · 90×390 · 90×490
Use a head without a beater bar, in the direction of the pile. Once a week is enough; dust is lifted before it settles between the yarns.
Blot, do not rub. Dampen with a suitable cleaner and dry.
Household machines are not suitable for woven rugs. One professional wash a year is recommended.
At least the front legs of your sofas should sit on the rug. For a standard living room 200 × 290 cm is recommended; for wide rooms 240 × 340 cm or 300 × 380 cm. The scale plan on this page shows how much of a 520 × 420 cm room each size covers.
