Anki Rug
Anki rug is made out of natural raw materials. Company uses cotton that has been flawed for clothing, but can still be used for making handmade rugs. Every sheet of cotton is individually ripped by hand depending on the customer's choice of pattern. The width of the strips vary from one centimeter to eight centimeters depending on the choice of pattern.
Linen warp is a key raw material in every Anki rug. Historically Nordic rugs have been woven with strong linen warp.[5]
The largest hand-woven Anki rug measures 14 m2 (c. 150 ft2).[6]
In 2016 Anki Online Shop launched a unique online rug design tool for customers around the world.
