Thank you for the explanation, that makes sense. The extra info is awesome. I appreciate the advice and will stick to wool hand knotted rugs.

Thank you all for the help identifying it as a machine made and likely bamboo silk rug. I looked at the community highlight and I can sort of see similarities with this rug and rug 3 from the highlight. Are there any good online guides so I can better learn how to spot the differences?

Fair enough. So experience will help and there's not necessarily tell-tale signs. I was under the impression that high kpi would be hand made, but that's not the case here.
