Wool on cotton
"Wool on cotton" is one of Dyad's Materiality labels. The first fibre named is the pile, or in a flatweave the face yarn; the second is the foundation. A wool on cotton rug therefore has wool knots on cotton warps and, usually, cotton wefts. It is the standard build of Persian workshop rugs and of many village rugs.
