Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 90 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 241,029 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 6 months.

How that is worked out: 64 in × 42 in × 90 knots per sq. in. ≈ 241,029 — that is 163 × 106 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.
