It is a thoroughly modern, graphic pattern — yet drawn in the warm, slightly irregular hand of a traditional \u003cstrong\u003eLoribaft\u003c\/strong\u003e, the handspun-wool weave of the Lori tribes. The result sits happily in a contemporary interior while keeping the soul of a hand-made tribal rug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eHandspun Wool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pile is \u003cstrong\u003e100% handspun New Zealand wool\u003c\/strong\u003e. Spinning the yarn by hand gives it a charming, natural irregularity in thickness, so each colour breathes and shifts slightly across the surface — the gentle abrash that gives a hand-made rug its depth. The pile is kept short at roughly \u003cstrong\u003e1 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the rug is \u003cstrong\u003ehand-knotted in Agra, India\u003c\/strong\u003e over a pure cotton foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is warm and confident: \u003cstrong\u003eaubergine purple, coral, gold and olive green\u003c\/strong\u003e, drawn together by the dark brown frame. The squares keep the eye moving without ever feeling busy, and the colours are fresh enough to lift a neutral room yet earthy enough to feel grounded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2
