Count the knots yourself
This piece is woven at approx. 120 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 1,627,503 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 5 months.
How that is worked out: 138 in × 98 in × 120 knots per sq. in. ≈ 1,627,503 — that is 350 × 250 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.
Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.
The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
