The hand-knotted woollen pile is cut to a sensible pile height of approximately 8mm. This will make looking after it a breeze, as vacuuming it will be easy and any dirt can be vacuumed out with minimal effort. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appealing texture of the pile was created because in between each row of pile (knots) there are loads of flat woven woollen weft threads. This combination forms the ridged-like texture to the pile. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother feature that you will certainly notice is the fringes of this runner. These tassels are braided which completes the look. However, there are more to the tassels than meets the eye. Each strand of tassel runs all the way though the runner and exits at the other end. These tassels are known as the warp threads, and on a handmade rug they are vitally important. These cotton warps were the first material onto the loom, and they are the fibres upon which this runner was created. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing this Berber-style runner in your home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape of this Afghan Berber runner makes it ideal for using in hallways and corridors.
