Understanding Abrash in Oriental Rugs
One of the things that makes handmade Oriental rugs so beautiful is the visual texture and variation found throughout the rug.

These subtle shifts in tone and color are considered a normal and often desirable characteristic of authentic hand-woven rugs.

Abrash is typically considered a natural characteristic, not a flaw. Handmade rugs often contain slight dye and wool variations that give the rug depth, texture, and individuality.
