The Kami Knotted Area Rug from Ferm LIVING showcases traditional hand-knotting techniques using New Zealand wool that receives gentle washing to achieve a relaxed, lived-in texture. Skilled artisans tie each knot by hand, creating a dense pile that will develop character through use while maintaining structural integrity for decades. The simple stripe pattern relies on subtle color variations rather than bold contrasts, allowing the wool's natural luster to define the design. Handwoven selvedge edges prevent fraying while adding artisanal detail, creating a floor covering that improves with age.
