Oh how we love high-low textured rugs, let us count the ways! High-low rugs add depth and texture to a space. With a 100% woven base and knotted pattern, these natural, sustainable rugs are durable as well as dirt and stain-resistant. They are easy to clean with the swipe of a vacuum. Hand-knotted in India by skilled artisans, Amethyst’s Origin Collection is crafted of fine wool with a touch of viscose from bamboo.


Quick tip—When looking for a wool rug, wave or rub your hands quickly over it. Take note of how much wool you see flying in the air… this is how much you’ll see in your house. Try this as a good way to test out the rug before you commit! Even better…low pile hand-knotted rugs have minimal shedding!
