Aconcagua is woven entirely in New Zealand wool, its fine stripes formed by alternating cut and loop pile rather than by contrast of tone. The pattern, in other words, is structural: light falls differently on the sheared surface than on the loops, and the stripe emerges from texture alone. It is the kind of rug that reads as a plain from across a room and reveals its discipline underfoot — quiet, orderly, and very much a weaver's idea of ornament.
