The Process

The Art of Weaving

Beauty lies in the weave. Every handcrafted rug represents the teamwork and dedication of many skilled workers. It is a slow process, but there is no better way to make rugs that last for generations.

Wool Sorting & Washing
Step 1

Wool Sorting & Washing

We import finest Wool from New Zealand and Tibet in a raw, natural state (4-6 inches mean fiber length). Wool is thoroughly washed to remove fat and wax, then sun-dried.

Carding
Step 2

Carding

Previously done by hand, now machine carding is used due to high demand, separating fibers as per various thickness requirements.

Spinning
Step 3

Spinning

The carded wool is hand-spun into yarn by using a traditional spinning tool referred to as 'Chakra'. This creates the unique texture of handmade rugs.

Pot Dyeing
Step 4

Pot Dyeing

Small-batch machine dyeing allows for consistent color from various shades. The dyed yarn is sun-dried for 1-3 days.

Graph Creation
Step 5

Graph Creation

In-house designers translate artistic visions into a pixel-perfect traceable graph for weavers to follow knot-by-knot.

Hand Knotting
Step 6

Hand Knotting

A double knotting system ensures firmness. Weavers work in teams, tying individual knots row by row (60 to 100 knots per inch).

Trimming
Step 7

Trimming

Initial inspection and pre-trimming are done evenly to make the pattern and design visible immediately after leaving the loom.

Washing
Step 8

Washing

Carpets are washed in filtered water using eco-friendly detergents and rinsed back and forth to bring out the sheen.

Stretching
Step 9

Stretching

Stretching is done on metal frames to ensure exact dimensions. Eco-friendly latex is applied to the back for stability.

Finishing
Step 10

Finishing

Final re-trimming (shearing) to make the pile height even, followed by careful polishing and removal of loose threads.

Packing & Shipping
Step 11

Packing & Shipping

Environment-friendly packing materials are used before the rug is shipped directly to the buyer's destination.
