Wool on wool

"Wool on wool" is a Dyad Materiality label for a piece that is wool throughout: wool pile, or wool face yarn in a flatweave, on wool warps and wefts. Nomadic weavers normally use wool from their own flocks for every part of a rug, so the label is typical of tribal rugs, kilims and gabbehs. A wool foundation is more elastic than cotton.
