Sourcing high quality raw materials is a crucial step in carpet making process. The wool and silk we use are precisely selected from the local market to preserve the authenticity and quality of each masterpiece we present.
Once the wool is hand carded in traditional wooden carding paddles, a yarn is formed to be used in weaving process. But first, the yarn needs to be dyed in order to attain those authentic and attractive colors.
Weaving is a special form of art in the region, passed down through generations. The weaving step of the total carpet making process is a long haul and takes four to nine months; even a year for some specific designs.
Once the carpet is completely woven, it is removed from the loom and placed on the floor for the final step which is cutting. The edges of each color patch is precisely cut to enhance and give your rug the final aesthetic look.
