Oushak or Usak (Ushak) rugs are made using the Ghiordes knot, also known as the Turkish knot, and always with a very fine, wool fiber. When compared to a Tibetan rug, they can have an almost ‘rustic’ feel to them, depending on the knot count. The lower pile heights of the Oushak expose the knots slightly, adding texture and depth to the beauty of the design. Like a Tibetan rug, an Oushak can be made in virtually any design; from very fine and detailed work, to softer, well-worn look.
