Berber Carpets and Wool: Layers Underfoot

A handmade wool rug. It is made of undyed natural wool, with an ivory white color featuring charcoal gray diamond lines. The pile is long, fluffy, and irregular. The weaving method shows traces of hand-knotting, with slightly crooked lines. It is layered over a larger jute rug, revealing a border of jute. It feels soft and thick underfoot. Avoid: using machine-woven synthetic fiber rugs, using brightly colored dyed rugs, making the pattern too neat and regular, only laying one rug and losing the layering effect.

一張手工的羊毛地毯。它是未染色的原色羊毛,顏色是象牙白帶炭灰的菱形線條圖案,毛長蓬鬆而不規則;織法可以看出手打結的痕跡,線條略有歪斜。它疊在下方一張更大的黃麻地毯上,露出黃麻的一圈邊。踩上去柔軟厚實。避免:使用機織的化纖地毯、使用染成鮮豔顏色的地毯、讓圖案過於工整規則、只鋪一張地毯失去層疊。
