Almas is a Hindi word meaning 'complicated'. This name could have been chosen by the weavers as there is a high degree of skill needed to weave this delicate fine pattern. With curving links between flowers this pattern demands a high knot count to provide the definition and is woven in our 40:40 weave with almost 200 knots per square inch. The design is very similar to a number of classic Indo Persian designs and is woven in 45 count multi-coloured hand spun Indian wool. The pile height is 0.5 inches.
