Wool pattern wefts on a cotton warp. This long-format Zilu carpet features the classic bitonal pattern in ecru and dark gray, forming a field of small tile-array squares. One end-only border replicates the field design, while the other has stars floating on off-white. Pileless, yet amazingly durable. The weaving technique limits Zilus to no more than two colors.
