Cotton — The Gentle Strength Beneath the Weave
Cotton in a Ruh Rug is not just a thread — it is the quiet foundation. Spun for the warp and the fringe, it holds the wool the way earth holds seed: firmly, yet with tenderness.
Breathable and grounding, each strand is spun with minimal machinery and maximum intention, preserving the human touch that gives it soul. Its earthy tone is not dressed in false colour, but remains as it grew — a reminder that strength does not always roar; sometimes it whispers beneath the surface.
“We created you in pairs” (Qur’an 78:8)
n the loom, cotton becomes the hidden support — the lines that carry every knot, the edges that frame the rug’s story. And as you trace its fringe, remember— for every visible beauty rests on an unseen partner.
