A weaver works without a pattern. He knows the design from his master and recreates it, knot by knot, with the freedom that entails. A medallion might be a few centimeters off-center, or a border might run slightly wider on one side than the other.
The same applies to the color. Wool from a single dye bath is never exactly the same tone, and in a finished rug, you can see this as bands that run slightly lighter or darker — known in the trade as abrash. This is not a flaw to be tolerated, but a sign that no machine was involved in the process.
