The Pendleton Tierra - Pagosa Springs Stripe is hand-knotted with approximately 80 knots to the square inch. We use high quality New Zealand wool and colorfast Swiss Chrome dyes to produce a rug that will provide beauty and durability for your lifetime. The wool is handspun, yielding varying diameters, so that when dyed a delightful variegated color is achieved, giving the completed rug a richness and subtle blend of colors. The Pagosa Springs designs draw their inspiration from blue hot springs arising through fire.
