Reap has the appearance of being stitched in rows of different rhythms, with a series of oval elements separated by a clean horizontal line. The overall effect lends a three-dimensional abstract image. The soft, fluctuating pattern is created by two different coloured yarns, woven into a black warp on a special fabric loom. Cut from a large roll and finished to order each Reap rug is unique. Further details include crisp canvas corners and a colour-contrasting stitch framing the rug on all sides. Made from thick felted woollen yarn on a fine polyester warp, this flat-woven design has a highly tactile finish.
