Introducing the "Soft Melody" collection in rug quality, a traditional Khotan design originating from India. This rug features an emerald background with a gold border and teal main color. Made from wool on cotton, it is a new rug in excellent condition.

The Soft Melody collection embraces the traditions and craftsmanship of the artisans in and around Agra, India. Handwoven in their homes, these rugs showcase centuries-old practices passed down through generations.

The quality of the Soft Melody rug is enhanced by its luxurious material blend. It consists of imported, long-staple New Zealand wool (50-75% of the blend) and superior local or South African wool. This combination creates a shinier and more lustrous finish compared to rugs made solely from local wools. The imported New Zealand wool is meticulously hand-carded and hand-spun into yarn, supporting the local economy.

What sets the Soft Melody rug apart is the unique single-ply characteristic of its yarn. Unlike two-ply yarns, each knot incorporates a single thread, resulting in a thicker and denser yarn. This, combined with the use of asymmetrical Persian-type knots, creates a denser and nubbier texture with visibly pronounced knots, adding to the rug's distinctive appeal.

The Soft Melody rugs boast a 6x6 quality, reflecting the intricate craftsmanship involved. This density adds robustness to the rug and enhances the clarity of its intricate design.

With a 100% wool pile, cotton foundations, and tightly spun cotton warps, these rugs are mostly double-wefted. The pile height is approximately 3/8 inch. The handspun nature of the yarn creates subtle color variations, giving each rug a unique aesthetic due to artisanal dyeing techniques.

The longevity and vibrancy of these rugs are ensured by their coloration process. Chromium dyes are used, which resist fading and maintain their vibrant hues over time. These high-quality chromium dyes are primarily imported from Switzerland and applied to the wool in India, combining international and local resources.

Overall, the Soft Melody rug is a testament to the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Indian rug making. With its traditional design, superior materials, and intricate detailing, this rug will make a stunning addition to any space.
