Berber wool carpet: white with black diamonds and in color

A hand-woven Berber wool rug. There are two types: one with a thick, undyed white wool base and fine black diamond lines, with very long and fluffy pile, and lines that are skewed and asymmetrical due to hand-weaving; the other is colorful, with irregular abstract patterns woven in ochre, indigo, and saffron yellow for the background and blocks. Both types have a plain, unpatterned section and thick tassels at the edges. Avoid: using machine-woven rugs with regular patterns, making the diamond lines straight and symmetrical, using high-chroma synthetic materials, cutting the rug into a regular rectangle and losing the hand-woven edge.

一張手織的柏柏爾羊毛地毯。有兩種:一種是未染色的厚實白羊毛底配細細的黑色菱形線條,毛很長很蓬,線條因為手織而歪斜不對稱;另一種是彩色的,底色與塊面用赭紅、靛藍、番紅花黃織出不規則的抽象圖案。兩者的邊緣都有一段沒有圖案的素面與粗的流蘇。避免:使用機器織的規則圖案地毯、讓菱形的線條筆直對稱、使用高彩度的化纖材質、把地毯裁切成規則的矩形失去手織邊。
