The highest form of rug making. Mali is hand knotted by artisans using techniques that go back centuries, each knot tied individually on the loom over months of work. Take your pick of earth tones, this solid rug adds unmatched dimension underfoot via its irregular crosshatch weave.
  • Our highest-quality construction. Mali is hand knotted by artisans of a wool blend and medium pile of 0.31”.
  • This rug is GoodWeave certified, ensuring our commitment to ethical production and the support of weavers' communities.
  • Shedding is an inherent characteristic of wool-blend rugs and will gradually subside with vacuuming and proper care.

  • Don’t forget a rug pad—we strongly recommend one for safety, cushioning, easy vacuuming, and longevity.
  • Made in India.

behind the craft

The Journey of a Hand-Knotted Rug

Preparing the Yarn

Wool rugs start with raw fibers. The Katwari (spinner) layers strands together on a bristled pad, brushing them to remove clumped dirt and knots. She then spins the wool on a charka, creating the yarn. 

Creating the Color Story

The wool thread is then dyed by an experienced artisan, timing the yarn’s soak in the dye—time that could be the difference between azure and powder blue. These colors become the foundation of your rug’s design.

Weaving One Knot At a Time

When it’s time to weave, each knot is tied individually, row by row, line by line. This requires months of skilled work where the weaver follows a rug map to guide them in bringing their design to life.

Completing Finishing Details

Once the rug is complete, it is washed and sheared by hand. This is important, meticulous work: One false move and months of work could be lost. Once sheared, the rug is ready to come home to you.
