Heriz and its neighbouring villages translate curvilinear city designs into an angular village idiom. The result is graphic, legible from across a room, and almost indestructible — Heriz wool is famously resilient.
Older pieces soften into extraordinary colour: brick reds fade toward terracotta, and the abrash — natural banding in the dye — gives the field a weathered, painterly depth that decorators seek out.
